Do I dare say......

Do I dare say it has been 5 DAYS since Jen has had a seizure! This is great news, maybe it was from the medication increase last week, whatever reason, we will take it! Of course it seems the longer she goes without a seizure, the more severe ones are usually lurking around the bend.

She has had a good week. Yesterday she went to the dentist, long overdue. She still has MANY baby teeth on the top, which now are in a row of their own next to the adult teeth. The dentist would like to pull them, but said since she is on so many meds, he needs clearance from her doctors to give her novacaine. Who knew? I guess it does go into your system and can effect your liver. Good thing its not urgent, he said to plan for Jan or Feb.

I try to get along with all the teachers, therapists, nurses, doctors, bus drivers, etc....alot of people that other families don't deal with on a daily basis. UGHHHHH, one school nurse really hit me the wrong way yesterday!!! I am not one to cry on a drop of a dime, but she brought me to tears....I don't know if I am more angry at her, or if I'm mad at myself to let her get to me!!!!


The most exciting news this week is that Katelyn got her license. She is doing great driving, already obtained a parking permit for school and is very independent this week. Kind of wierd not having to rush home to get her from school to work, etc... I will miss it though! Another milestone in the family!
