Holidays

Hello, hope that everyone had a great time this holiday season. We actually went to the beach thanks to the Simmons family and their beautiful home. It was a perfect time as Cameron was really seizure free and she was able to run and play helmet free on the beach. My parents, sister and niece joined us as well and the time flew by quickly. As you know I did not get out X-mas cards so I am going for the new years card instead, we shall see.

Our little break from seizures has ended as Cameron had three drop seizures on Saturday and Sunday morning she started off with a more severe but short seizures that consisted of very rapid shaking all over her body and head. Neither of us had witnessed this type before but they are always changing. That first seizure got her on a bit of a pattern and the day was a little rough for her. The same thing has already happened this morning so not sure what the day has instore for her.

The Depakote has been a blessing in many ways for Cameron. Over the past week Cameron started speaking in 5 and 6 word sentences and then it moved up to 10, 12 and even more on some occasions. This is great because Cameron normally was talking in 2 to 3 word phrases and they were often not clear. This made the doctors think that her speech had been destroyed or that she could have this rare form of Rasmussen's on both sides of her brain. The important thing is that she does have her speech and her congnitive awareness has also improved. This tells me that her previous medications were really putting her in a fog. I am very excited to get back to Hopkins to see what the doctors say now. January 22nd could not get here soon enough. Many thanks to you all for the continued prayers and kind gestures. All our love The Motts.
