Alannah had her one year post-surgery follow-up tests and doctor appointments this month. She had another MRI of the brain and another 24 hour EEG. She also met with the neurosurgeon and neurologist to confirm test findings. All went well! The EEG showed no abnormal brain waves, THANK YOU GOD! The doctors were both happy with how she is doing. The neurologist has said that she is able to come off her meds now, and the probability of her seizures returning would be very low. We are going to wait until after the National Walk for Epilepsy to start weaning her off the Keppra. We are very excited and grateful. Our next big step will be to try and raise money for the Epilepsy Foundation, as a way to give back for all that has happened for Alannah. We hope to help many other people with epilepsy, and to raise awareness about this devastating condition.
As always, thank you for the love and support,
Eric and Marilena Enfield
