Epilepsy Surgery?? Really!

July 16, 2016July 16, 20162 Comments

Since my last post, unfortunately we haven't had the clear run we were hoping for.  On day 12 of retrying Trileptal Luke came out again in a drug rash and therefore we had to stop him taking it immediately. To say that my husband and I were devastated is an understatement!  he had gone from … Continue reading Epilepsy Surgery?? Really!

Mixed Emotions -Good Days & Better Days

July 6, 2016July 6, 2016Leave a comment

Ok so today I am a little bit more cautiously optimistic.  Since my last post, (which I will be honest was written on a not very good day!!) quite a few things have happened.

It's been over a month now since Luke's diagnosis of epilepsy.  He has always been a lively child to say the least.  The youngest of two children, I always said he never walked; he went straight from crawling to running.  He broke endless toys, smashed a tv by flinging a toy gun at the screen … Continue reading It’s all about Luke
