Feeling Better & Starting Keppra Wean

Kate seems to be feeling better from her sickness. She's back to normal & not coughing much anymore. We're getting better at feeding her in such a way that minimizes throwing up. Unfortunately, she's not doing very well bottle feeding - we seem to have regressed in this respect.

We started weaning Kate off her Keppra this morning, a process that will take about a month. We'll reduce her dose over time to hopefully minimize any withdrawal symptoms. Kelly and I are a bit nervous about taking her off (for fear of seizures returning), but very much want to see her medication free and at her highest developmental potential.

Keeping our fingers crossed!!!
