Madalyn's teachers and class sent her balloons, so sweet!

Dr. Parker came by this afternoon and all the news was good.  There is much less spiking than before the medicine.  Last year, she had spiking more frequently than every 10 seconds in the  occipital, parietal, and central lobe.   Now, it is rare, and mostly from the central lobe only.  Her nighttime activity is even less, which means she is getting good sleep.

I'm thrilled with these results.  This means clearly her improved attention, focus, and behavior is because the spiking has been greatly reduced.  Yeah!  Medicine does not always make an EEG look cleaner..sometimes it controls clinical seizures without reducing the spiking.  But, in Madalyn's case, the medicine is controlling the seizures, and helping the spiking.  Yeah!!
