4 Paws For Drake!
 
Drake started a new med last night (Zonegran).  The neurologist feels that the blinking we're seeing may indeed be seizure activity and the hope is that by addint this new medication we can get it under control.  But starting new AEDs can be a terrifying process.  There are so many unknowns and risks associated with them...each person reacts completely different to them.  So while we titrate up over the next three weeks, we're going to be a bit on edge here in the Current household.  Some of the known effects we'll be on the lookout for:  lack of sweating (which can result in overheating, more seizures, heat stroke - we dealt with this with a previous med as well), sedation, increased seizures, deterioration of tone, balance and walking, deterioration of speach.  Really hoping we see none of these and instead simply see the seizure activity decrease.  Next neurology appointment scheduled for April 1.
