Breathing Easier!

Post by Gentle Jacob's mom » Thu Nov 06, 2014 12:57 pm

I was going to put this under success stories but I was afraid to tempt fate.
Jake's blood work just came back and everything is great! (Am I a poet and don't know it?)
The older he gets the more I hold my breath.
Just wanted to share this with people who would understand my level of stress! (Hmmm)

Take Care,
Lynne

Good news, Lynne.

Lets hope the canine epilepsy hears this and starts to behave.

All the best,
Trevor.

Thanks everyone! I was really nervous this year because of all the chaos in our lives during the last several months, but it looks like Jake is taking it in stride. We are increasing his Keppra a little because of the cluster he had last month and because in recent months his post ictal phase has gotten gradually worse. It's still not as bad as it used to be, not by a long shot, but she wants to be sure we don't open a door we can't get closed again. Jake's had the best year so far and hopefully it will stay that way for awhile.
He certainly deserves it!
Thanks again, and I hope everyone has a peaceful, seizure free weekend.
Lynne
