Default Katie's EEG results

I guess not totally surprising. I've said all along that Katie is nearly identical to Jake, so we were expecting it. It's just we had hoped that because her 2 previous EEG's were normal that maybe, just maybe, she would be ok. And when she had the febrile seizures we kinda knew it was just a matter of time, and yep, we were right.

The doc called this morning around 9. He said that the EEG was abnormal showing several spikes. He had said after the first seizure that he didn't want her on any meds, to wait and see. But now he wants to start her on Trileptal.

I said to the doc that all her seizures have been with fever and he said that the way her EEG looked, it's just a matter of time, that he feels that she will have seizures without fever.

As far as I know, she's NOT having any seizures, BUT she does have some "suspect" things. She jerks when she gets upset Jake's myoclonics gets horrible when he's upset) and she does still do the pee pee shiver (without the pee pee).

I've been so depressed all day. It's not a surprise or anything. It was expected. But still, I can feel a big fat depression coming on.
