Our periodic checkup with Dr. Duplessis went as well as could be expected. The goal of controlling Ella’s seizures was, for now, accomplished. Ella hasn’t had any since her release from the hospital. We were worried about her medication dosage since she has been growing a lot. The doctor confirmed, and raised the dosage.
It is getting more difficult to give her the medicine (even though it seems she is getting better at swallowing it), The dose at night has now been doubled and that means we have to give her two syringes full of the yucky red stuff. I think it is more painful for us than for her. All the rest of our questions for the doctor were answered in more or less the same fashion. ‘we will just have to wait and see’.
