GREAT DAY!

Paisley got hooked up for another EEG today and was a champ like usual. I'm not a doctor, but I could tell that the zigzags from her brain on the screen actually had some order to them. When the test was over we got our sticky haired baby and walked over to Dr. Gammeltoft's office to get the news. He told us that the EEG wasn't normal (probably never will be "normal"), but it was a tremendous improvement since her last chaotic EEG. He didn't see any sign of infantile spasms and there was minimal seizure activity. He was shocked at how good it turned out and said to keep fingers crossed for the seizures. So far the ACTHar has worked wonders.

And since we left the office, Paisley has not stopped cooing! This is something she hasn't done since we started her treatment, and I am so excited to have my vocal, smiling little baby back! Andrea came over for her weekly visit with us and Paisley did such a good job holding her head up for her today!
