Wow, its been awhile!!!!
When I started the blog, I had every intention of posting at least once a week, well life sorta got in the way of that plan! But I am happy to say that he has been doing well the last couple of months. He did have a few more seizures since my last post, a couple of them being illness related, but for the most part things are looking positive. We aren't exactly in the clear and he hasn't had another EEG to see whats going on while he sleeps, the Dr. wants him seizure free for about 6 months before we schedule one. He continues to struggle greatly in school, he goes to 3 different resource rooms daily to try and get him on the right path, but we have seen little to none improvement. Its hard to tell whether its the seizures or medications that are interfering with academics, but I would take a seizure free Carter over a super scientist genius Carter anyday.
He has an appointment the first week in April, just a regular check up with his neurologist, but if he stays seizure free, maybe we will talk about another EEG.
As always, thank you for the love and support!

Hi Nicole, I just found your blog about Carter! I will be thinking of you and him. My son Sam is 7 and was diagnosed with Epilepsy when he was 4 and ESES when he was five. It's been a roller coaster ride, to say the least. We just started the keto diet, none of the medications have worked. So far we've had good results in terms of improvement in school with reading, language, and motor skills. I hope Carter continues to be seizure free!
