Oh poop - Stacy had a tonic clonic (TC) seizure yesterday morning. Fortunately, she didn’t injure herself, she recovered quickly and it was a single seizure (no clustering / repeats). The seizure occurred around 5:50am. We had gotten out of bed around 5:30am as we normally do on a weekday. I knew right away that she [...]

Managing just fine - It’s been far too long since the last blog update. I apologize for that. The good news is that there hasn’t been any event that pushed this to be a priority.

What a difference a year makes - Stacy managed to go tonic-clonic seizure free throughout 2010! She’s gotten *much*, much better at managing her diet, meds, sleep and overall life/stress/schedule balance. She still occassionally has a small CP seizure (maybe once a week or two). By small, I mean they are almost like absence seizures. Very short duration and post-ictal [...]

Half a year update - Wow have I been negligent in updating this blog! The good news is that it is largely because Stacy has been doing fantastic with managing her epilepsy. She is still taking 400-500mg Dilantin (500 around her period, 400 otherwise) and maintaining her diet, sleep and meditation regimen. She still occassionally will have a small [...]
