Raquel's next follow-up appointment with Dr. Mower is scheduled for August 4th at 9:30am. He will basically be observing her and getting our feedback on how she's reacting to the Depakote. In November, he wants to do another 24-hour EEG, so my little Smurf will be returning in another 5 months. The purpose of this EEG is to determine whether or not the brain discharges have changed or subsided. At least I know what to expect this time, and hopefully won't drop the device as soon as I walk in the door.
Raqi had another great day. I'm beginning to think that she's turning into a new child on me, but again, don't want to get too excited because everything is subject to change at any given time. She continues to be happy and content as the days go on, and is very playful - especially with Gabby. She wakes up very rested, and is talking more. Her tantrums or meltdowns are seldom, and completely different in intensity. When I told Dr. Mower's assistant all this, she said she'd make sure he received this information, and that he would be very pleased.
Her teachers are also noticing changes in her during school. She is engaging in activities for longer durations, and overall appears much calmer. But she doesn't seem sedated, which was one of my biggest concerns. I didn't want a lethargic 3-year old laying around the house, but she is still very active - just not constantly moving.
Let's see what tomorrow brings...
