It’s a Crap Shoot…..

Medication changes are a Crap Shoot....

After the last blog post of Travis's seizure activity they increased his dose of his anti-seizure medication.  That increase made him SO TIRED it was hard for him to speak and/or stay awake....so....I called up to the Doctors and they decreased that medication and put him on an additional med.  The combination of these two meds should do the trick!

However, there are always side effects involved.  Travis has been having 'tremors'.  At first when he experienced these 'tremors' he thought it was the onset of a seizure.  His lips quiver, his hands shake and his over-all 'self' is just spacey.  After a few of these he realized that they were manageable.  .  . and they say the 'tremors'  CAN go away once his body gets used to the drug....(hence the Crap-Shoot).  I am also sad to report he had yet another seizure last night   which is yet another side effect when you switch medications.   So we/he are just trying to get this medication situation under-control.

What works for some people doesn't work the same for another....C-R-A-P  S-H-O-O-T!  (words of wisdom )

Have a Fabulous Holiday Weekend!!!  We are looking forward to time with friends, family and fireworks!
