There has been an amazing improvement in Brady's ataxia since reducing his phenobarbital dose on Tuesday night (2/16/10). His balance is back, he can go up and down the stairs without any problems, no more signs of being wobbly or staggering. He is even jumping up on the bed and making it up there without any problem. This is an incredibly fast improvement! He is alert and his eyes are bright!
All we can say is wow!
We are so thankful to see Brady back to his 'ole self ' again and are praying that the reduction in the dose of phenobarbital won't make a difference in his seizure control. I feel that Dr. Katherman wouldn't have made the recommendation if she thought otherwise. The Zonisamide was increased in January (1/26/10) and the Potassium Bromide hasn't been changed since the latter part of October ('09) so we should still have plenty of drugs on board to keep control over the monsters. That is our hope and our prayer.
Things are looking good! Dear God please let things continue to go well! Thank You for watching over us all and Brady especially, and for keeping us under Your loving care.
