Dear Cat

Very pleasing to read there have been no changes on your recent MRI.
I do hope a balance is found soon with the anit-seizure meds.

I continue to keep you in my prayers & thoughts.

Cheers, Angie.

I have not posted in awhile, thought I would give an update. After several meetings with the neurologist we are giving a six month try of 400 mg Dilantin, and 3000 mg of Keppra. I have more days now without episodes then with, but am still having episodes.

On occasion since January 08 I have had a feeling that I missed a step or tripped put can see that the step was normal, it just does not feel that way. Just a little hiccup in the wiring I suppose, has any one else had this?

Overall things are going well, and I am not scheduled for another MRI until a year from the one in May.

I pray for you all as we travel this path together.

Greg

Just as with anything else in life you get involved with, you tend to find other people around you going through the same thing.

I have a co-worker whose son J... (Late 20's) has been diagnosed with an 8cm round tumor in the left frontal lobe. He had a needle biopsy on the 4th and is awaiting results early this week.

And then a member of my church her brother who lost his 6 or 7 year daughter last year to a brain tumor. In June he was diagnosed himself with one.

Please keep these two men in your thoughts and prayers. As I do with everyone who post on this site.

Hello Greg
We've had a similar experience since my Bro has been diagnosed. All these other cases "coming to light" & people that are close to you. It's quite unbelievable!
I will keep you & yours in my prayers. Prayer gives strength to the weak, hope to the hopeless, well you know the rest!
Cheers, Angie.
