Chloe's been having a good few months. She hasn't had a drop seizure -- one when she's awake -- since Halloween Day. In all, she has only four recorded seizures in November so far. But last night, when she was sleeping with us, she had one and woke up crying. For the past week or so, she's been waking up about once a night crying, and now we're wondering if she's been having more seizures than we know about.
But she's been happy, engaged, and energetic, and we visited her at school last week and were very impressed with her level of engagement and progress. Kindergarten got off to a rough start, partly because it was a big transition after being at the same school with many of the same teachers for three years, and partly because she was having a lot of seizures in September. On one hand, the teachers learned how to deal with a seizure and keep Chloe safe, but on the other hand, she wasn't very open to learning and participating, especially with new people.
Now she seems to be settling in to her new routine, and seems to be getting the concepts of waiting when she's in group activities.
Happy Thanksgiving! Look for photos tomorrow.
