Smile!

Love this kid!  Here's Drew's new buzz cut.  We learned our lesson about the EEG glue last time in January, so before we went for his most recent EEG we buzzed his hair.  It made a huge difference!  We spent 4 days in the hospital again collecting more data and the doctors are switching his seizure meds.  We're in the difficult category of epilepsy now, so we are praying this new medication works.  60% of patients have their seizures controlled within the first 2 meds they try.  We are in the 40% where that didn't happen.  Out of the 40%, 5-20% will have their seizures controlled.  So there is still hope, but our odds keep getting slimmer.  Pray that Drew is in the 5-20% of the 40%!!!!
