Today is a better day! ~~ Sam had no seizures overnight,
and they suspect the seizures were from a drug she's been on;
the spinal tap was negative, thank God,
so there's no reason to think a more "sinister" reason lies behind the seizures.

She's much more alert today, and has spoken to us!!!
When Daddy held her favorite toy school bus in front of her,
she said, "Hi, school bus!"

She also looked at me and said, "Mama",
and when Daddy handed her something,
she said, "Thank you, Daddy",
so we think she's back!

She's still very tired, as seizures wipe you out for a while,
plus all the testing and meds, so nobody expects her to be overly perky,
but we're so happy and relieved to see her responding appropriately
and interacting a bit.

Thanks,

Jessica
