We saw Lizzie's "substitute" neurologist today. He would like to get an MRI sometime in the next few weeks to check on her brain, which is no surprise; they had told us a while back that they would probably do one when she was getting closer to 2 years old. The MRI she had in September 2011 didn't show anything, but they want to see if, now that her brain is more developed, there will be any lesions or other abnormalities they couldn't see before. Overall, the neurologist thinks she is still doing well and making good progress. He even said that if she is able to go two years seizure-free, they might talk about weaning her off her medication!
Lizzie was also supposed to have occupational therapy and begin speech therapy today; however, due to the several inches of snow that were dumped on us overnight, those appointments got canceled. This weather is crazy! What should have been 8-10 minutes to drive home from the doctor's appointment was an hour and 10 minutes, plus another 45 minutes to get the car up the driveway.
