Not a single seizure since the 10th of September.  Natalie continues to do well, and is so excited to not be needing to take naps all of the time.  She has come out of her fog, and her old personality is back.  I forgot what a quick wit that she used to have.  With all of the seizure meds, it was gone for so long.   I also forgot that sometimes she back talks a bit.  I do get a bit irritated when she back talks, but at the same time, I feel overjoyed to have my little girl back.  Don't get me wrong, Nat is a great, sweet little girl, she just tells you exactly what is on her mind. 

I remember last spring when she had her Kindergarten program.  A lot of the other parents were crying a bit, just to know that Kindergarten was coming to an end, and the kids all looked so grown up.  I was crying because I had to sit and watch my child have 8 seizures during the program.  They were just absense and myclonic seizures (quick jerking and blank look on face), and I don't know if anyone else even noticed, but it was hard for me to watch.  Well, she had a Veterans Day assembly on Friday, and her first grade class sang at it.  I went to watch, and got my chance to shed those Happy tears, like all of the other parents got last spring.  It was AMAZING!

 It is conference time this week at her school, and I have her conference this afternoon, I am praying that everything is going as well at school as it is going at home!
