Nervous Today

Today we have two appointments for Oliver. The appointments themselves should be routine and easy but it's what's coming after that scares me. Everytime we meet with our neurologist we have a great talk, things are positive, we're feeling great.....and then later that afternoon or the following day Oliver will have awful seizures. Even if he's had a whole week without seizures, or a whole month without seizures...inevitably...every time we visit our neuro Oliver ends up having a really rough patch right after. Add this to the fact that Oliver has a flu shot booster scheduled at a the ped today and I'm a wreck. Last month he received his initial flu shot and woke up the next morning with a very intense seizure and then had some increased activity for about a week. I want him to be protected from the flu, and the shot itself doesn't worry me but I'm just on edge about this upcoming weekend. I don't even want to think, write or type it but Oliver has had a very good November, the best start to a month he's had since April, I think. So I am just feeling wary of the days to come and praying that we can handle the increase in seizure activity.

Oliver has been doing great the past few days. Whether it's the zantac helping keep food down better or the delayed emptying is improving now that he feels better and his ear infection is going away....I'm not sure. But he hasn't thrown up since Sunday and he is having WAY less cranky periods. When he does have them they are shorter. He is currently yelling and laughing and kicking his feet and this morning was really telling me a long story. This is the baby he could be all the time if we can get a break from the seizures.
