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 [...]

No seizures, but hormones apparently out of whack - It’s been 2 months since the last update. Stacy has been doing well.

She has stopped the once weekly neurofeedback sessions for now, but may resume them again in the future as necessary.

Steady as she goes - It’s been a while since the last update and that’s mostly because there isn’t anything to report (w00t!).

This one was very unusual for her though – it occurred at noon while she was out in public (waiting in line at a restaurant) with friends. She fell and hit her head near the bridge of her nose – just under the right eyebrow – on [...]
