Hello all! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday filled with love and family!

Nothing too new to report on Mr. Carter. Since my last post, he started his new school, which he loves and it is going great! In September we tried a different type of therapy to treat his ESES called IVIG.... He had a follow up EEG in October and it yet again remained unchanged. On the up side, he had been "daytime" seizure free since the end of July... until  last Saturday when he had 2 of them, but it had been 4 months which is still a good chunk of "having control". He also, in October started focalin, which is a  behavior medication, and it seems to be working very well! We saw his Neurologist on Wednesday and the current plan is to go up on one of his anti convulsants and see how he does over the next few months, if he continues on his seizure free streak we will see about looking into other treatments for his ESES.

Happy Winter Everyone!
