Olivia had her neurology follow up on February 3, 2009 and the doctor was happy with the improvements that Olivia had made. We have also finally started taking her off her medication (Tegretol). She was put on Tegretol in December 2007 when she began to have uncontrollable crying tantrums, the doctor's were not sure whether they were a form of seizures or just a mood problem. Well, we are happy to say the crying fits have stopped and now she cries like any other normal child. It will take us 4 weeks to take it off it completely and then we will see what will happen.
Olivia is scheduled in a week or two for an ABR test as well as another EEG to verify for any seizure activity. We are very confident that Olivia is doing really well and that there are NO SEIZURES, well at least we pray that there are none.
Olivia is still progressing nicely, still doing all the things she was but just with much better precision, she is learning how to control her body movements. I will update you all after the test results are in.
