Bree's New Medication

Our neurologist called yesterday and has decided to put Bree on Keppra. It's a very common drug used to control seizures with no side effects. She'll start slowly on her dosage and in 9 days be at a therapeutic level. So far her seizures have been very mild, with only 3-4 noticable seizures a day. However, her irritability is through the roof. She will have frequent screaming fits most likely cause by her seizures. It's hard to tell if she's in pain from a headache or blurred vision. The Keppra should only take a couple of days to see results and I plan on speaking with their neurologist to see if we can try B6 vitamins to help with the irritability. Paige is doing great! She's her happy-go-luck self and showing no signs of seizures. So all we need to do is wait and see if the Keppra works.
