Lydia update
I promised myself not to give up on keeping the blog for the summer, but you can see that it has been a little while since I have written. I want to fill in some of the details of what has been happening, but I need to start with today so that I can share some news about Lydia. Today we had a follow up appointment with Doctor Civitello to talk about the result of her overnight EEG and her MRI. And good news Lydia's brain is normal, with no scar tissue, no tumors, and it's healthy. Her EEG did show some abnormal activity, but at this point she is not having seizures. We discussed her over all health. She gave Lydia a complete physical and let us know that Lydia is a growing healthy little girl. By the way Lydia has grown an inch and gained 5 lbs in two months. Doctor Civitello could not explain why she had seizures or why they stopped other than an anomaly. She suggested that we make sure Lydia gets plenty of sleep, eats healthy, and stays hydrated. If we see any more seizures we will be back to receive medication to help her. We will also visit Dr. Civitello every six months. I am thankful for the wonderful people we have met during all the tests and the overnight hospital stay. It's awesome to see the dedication these health professionals have for children.The seizures could come back or she may never have one again. We are grateful that for now she is seizure free. I believe that having the seizures gone is a miracle. A miracle from prayers and fasting! . Thanks for your prayers and concern for Lydia
