I haven't posted in awhile, mainly because nothing has really changed. John is still taking 150mg of Lamictal per day, and is continuing to have roughly 15 small seizures every day. He remains happy and is continuing to progress cognitively, still at a snails pace though.
We did have a meeting with his private speech therapist. She has a lot of confidence that John will progress well, so it gives us a lot of hope. We have some items to buy (ie special headphones, picture cards, blocks) and we have some stuff that we are supposed to study before we see her again.
Yoshie also talked to Maya's old preschool, and we are considering enrolling John in the 2's or 3's class starting in September. He'll be 4 at that time, so he'd be either 1 or 2 years behind. It sort of depends on how John does over the next few months. Right now, he does not have the understanding or patience to attend the 3's class, but I think he is improving in that regard. I think he'd enjoy being around the other kids.
John has his EEG next week. That will certainly be interesting. We might also ask for a referall to another epilepsy center, depending on what the EEG looks like.
