Well we made it home at 10 pm last night. Ella did well all day yesterday and although the Coordinated Care doctor, Dr. O’Brien, suggested staying another night just to be safe, we thought it best to come home. Ella’s color was good, she had perked up and she really was pretty much her old self. What luck to only spend one night in the hospital!
Today she was well for the most part but she did give us a scare this morning when she had one seizure while I was giving her a bath at about 10 a.m. She didn’t have anymore although she did have those nerve wracking twitches on her left side which usually come in clusters. We are increasing the Topamax according to Dr. Duffy’s instruction to 15 mg./day. I have to say I’m quite exhausted. I’m worried about her so much of the time and I get very little done otherwise. It seems that our life has changed very drastically for the time being and it seems like a real treat to be able to meet with friends, catch up on correspondence or just to get out of the house. I have been able to keep up on my studies which are a welcome diversion. But that is about it: reading, writing and Ella!
