So the seizures have continued and about 2 weeks ago we increased Lucas' dose of Keppra again. He is now taking 4mL twice a day. Tomorrow, we are supposed to call and check in with Dr. Burris (the neurologist) again. I am not sure what he will say though because Lucas has still be having seizures even with the dose increase. This, however, may be related to an ear infection and snotty nose that Lucas developed Wednesday night. When one is ill, it is often the case that seizure activity can increase.
He is doing a bit better today. (We started antibiotics on Friday.) His cough is much less frequent and severe and his snotty nose is not as snotty. He also is behaving more normally and not so ill-ish. I'll let you know what develops. (Hopefully it won't take me as long between updates as it has this time.)
In other exciting news, last week in physical therapy, Lucas sat by himself for about 20 seconds! He sat about 15 seconds another time in the same session. He is getting stronger and beginning to grow in his balance and coordination. He has also been doing great standing while we hold him under his arms and will even take steps as we support him.
I need to get some stuff done now, but I'll try to keep you posted when there's more to say.
Thank you all for your prayers and love and encouragement. Lucas, our amazing little prince, (and his parents) appreciate them more than we can say.
