Alex's neurologist called Thursday night. I have quite a bit of research to do because I don't understand a lot of the technical terms he used, but the bottom line was while Alex's EEG had some abnormalities in the central region of her brain, she was not having active seizures. The fabulous news is that he does not feel the need to put her on any seizure medication at this time and that is a HUGE weight lifted off my shoulders. I truly believe that Alex has made some great cognitive gains in the last two years and my fear was that she would have to go back on seizure meds, which in turn makes her sleepy and in a fog. It's taken her quite a few days to get back to her old self, but I think she was absolutely exhausted - the hospital is not the place to be if you're looking to get any sleep!
Alex went back to school yesterday and it was great seeing her so excited when the bus came. She LOVES the bus and she enjoys being at school so it was nice seeing her fall back into her routine and being happy about it.

Thank you again to everyone for your calls, texts, e-mails and prayers. Aaron and I definitely felt loved and supported and appreciate the family and friends that we have.
