Forgot to Post This

 I had a pretty cruddy day this past Friday. Mommy and I drove to Chattanooga in the morning for my two doctor appointments. I had to visit my neurologist and my eye doctor. While we were in the waiting room at the neurologist I had a mild seizure that last for about a minute and 15 seconds. Mom and Dad have been concerned that I have been having breakthrough seizures so I guess this was the proof. My doctor decided that because I have gained weight that my medicine is no longer within a therapeutic range so she increased my phenobarb again. This is the second increase since September. The doctor also wanted me to have an EEG done that morning but I had another appointment to be at so I am going in the morning for my test. I may be having what the doctor says are infantile spasms.

Right after the neurology appointment my mom drove me across town to the eye doctor appointment which was pretty uneventful except they like to drop this stuff in my eyes that makes my eyes get really big. But other than that the eye doctor said my eyes are healing well, my retinas are attached and look healthy, and when I come back in January they will be able to determine more of where the position of my eyes are going to be. This is what I thought of the doctor appointments. Those things wear me out.
