I've had to change the approach since Connor passed away, but I still write, and I promise to keep going. Anything less for him is a failure.

Waiting Rooms
We spent a while this morning in the waiting room at Connor's neurologist. I don't look forward to these appointments as it is, but 45 minutes in the waiting room and I was pretty annoyed. However, once we were in, it went pretty well. We found out that the episodes we mentioned back in December/January aren't what we hoped - they are partial seizure behavior. For us, it's better to know - and do what we can to take care of that. Connor's had a really good month, only a few episodes, and he's been very happy and working very hard at therapy. So it was disappointing but not too surprising. Then the doctor told us how pleased he was to see Connor looking and, from what we told him, working so well. We were happy with "pleased" as it now sets a new high for enthusiasm from Dr. McClintock. Connor, of course, was full of vim and vigor at the doctor's, and then promptly fell asleep on the way in to day care. Anyway, that's the news, and I wanted to get it up on the blog as soon as I could. I'd say 3 hours is pretty good turnaround time for me!

Thank you for the up-to-date info, especially the unusually enthusiastic words from the deadpan doctor. Is there new treatment in line for the arm thing, or is this a "wait and see" kind of thing?
wait and see - sort of. if he has another episode we will do some more testing and change his meds then.
