8 weeks!

Today is officially 8 weeks since my seizure and I'm seizure-free. Other than the fact that my allergies are out of control (thanks, Lehigh Valley), I feel great. Still no flashes, headaches, seizures, microseizures, etc. No sign of them either *knocks on wood*

I'm still feeling really good about the plan we have in place. Once we reach 12 weeks (which is August 19), I'll feel like I can exhale. Every day that goes by though, I know that we made to right decision. I'm one day closer to having a normal life, again. 

The first week of November, I'm going to start driving with Colin and being able to stay home with him. I don't want to continue to be babysat when I am fully capable of taking care of my own child. So, I have 101 days until that happens. I probably will start a countdown on each post to November 1, as well. I wanted to make sure that I was driving with before the weather started to get bad. That way I'm not driving with a toddler for the first time - and there's ice on the ground.

Here's to the next 4 weeks!

Update - 25mg of Zonegran

Yesterday was 6 weeks since my seizures and I have officially been on the 25mg of Zonegran for 10 days.

So far, still no auras, headaches or seizures *knocks on all the wood I can find* I feel good. We are currently on vacation and for the most part, I've resumed normal life. Which feels awesome. Every day The goes by,  I'm starting to worry less and not anticipate the worst coming. But, I also am taking much better care of myself. I can't stress enough how much that has made a difference in how I feel not just physically, but mentally. 

Also, we got Colin's hair cut for the first time. Mommy cried pretty hard. Haha! I miss his baby curls but he looks cute. 


He's getting so big! 17.5 months old already!
