Follow-up on Brady

I spoke with Dr. Katherman on Monday, 6/7/10, and we are going to monitor him for now and see what his trend will be from here forward. If there is another seizure, we will schedule him in for blood work to see if his drug levels have dropped. He is back on his normal phenobarbital dose, which is 2 tablets of 32.4 mg twice per day=129.6 mg daily total, instead of 1 tablet of 60 mg=120 mg daily total that he had taken for 7 days. And of course, he is still on all of the other medications. Dr. Katherman said that the difference in milligrams could possibly have caused the two breakthrough seizures and possibly it was not the cause of them. I spoke with a pharmacist at Rite Aid and it was his opinion that a difference of 10 mg (9.6) per day is a lot.

Brady also had his acupuncture session with Dr. Peace on Monday night, 6/7/10. It was a great session and when we returned home he was very peaceful and calm. He had a wonderful night of restful, peaceful sleep. We will be doubling his Chinese herbal supplement, Din Tan Tang, for 2 weeks.

Thank you Dear Lord for watching over him and protecting him. Please continue to keep him under your loving care. I pray that the seizure monsters will stay away.
