Keppra increase

Since my last post, we have increased his Keppra to 2.0 ml, twice a day. He went through a tough time with bigger seizures so we had to do the increase. Thankfully, this really helped his seizures. He still has many daily seizures, but they are back to being small again. He seems to have bigger seizures during sleep, though. As expected, the Keppra caused John to be a wild child for awhile. He would change moods instantly, and get very easily frustrated. He would bang his head against the floor or wall to the point of hurting himself. This lasted for a few weeks, but is slowly getting better.
School is going fine. He has really taken a liking to two of his teachers. I think he enjoys his school and is doing well.
There is a lot of snow around here now, and John has been having a lot of fun playing in the snow. Mostly, he just loves to eat the snow. I'll post pictures later. The good news is that he wears his hat and gloves without any issue now.
