The Weaning Begins

Sorry it has been so long since we updated. There really has not been much going on since her last appointment. She is still seizure free, which thrills us everyday and is constantly on the move. She has taken a few quasi-steps, so we expect her to start running circles around us at any moment.

Her birthday was a huge success. She is so lucky to have so many people that love her.

We officially started weaning her today. Instead of having 2 pills this morning she only had one. The schedule looks like this-

Week 1 - 1 pill am & 2 pills pm
Week 2 - 1 pill am & 1 pill pm
Week 3 - 1 pill pm
Week 4 - DONE!!!

We are so excited and a little nervous. We just really feel that her appetite will return and she will start sleeping better when she is weaned of the Topamax. After this is all over we will have a follow-up with Dr Metrick and then a month later we will have one with Dr Mason.

Wish us luck!
