It's getting closer

Well, we're doing the countdown now for Ana's doctor appointment in Rochester with the neurologist. Ana is very positive about the whole thing and is such a trooper. She will have another EEG while we are there so we look forward to hearing what the doctor says and if this EEG will show anything that can give us a clue as to why she was having the seizures. Since she began the anti-seizure medicine she has had no more seizures. Our biggest question will be how long they think she will need to be on the medicine and if there is any concerns to being on the medicine as far as side effects and such. All we can hope for is that they find nothing as to what caused the seizures to begin with, yet that is so frustrating for us too because there were no symptoms (fever, etc) that caused them to begin with anyway. It's just hard when you have no answers, but we know that no news really is good news. Her appointment is on Monday, the 29th, and we have no idea how long we will even be there, but hope it only takes a day or two at most. Mia will be going along with us because she wants to be with her sister - she's a worrier! It's so sweet though to know that she wants to be there. My sister, Ang, is coming to stay with Kale while we are away so we thank her so much for her willingness to do so.

We will keep you posted as we find out more information.
