God is so good!

Lauren's MRI results were normal! Nothing abnormal..no tumors, lesions or anything scary. Such a relief. I feel like we can finally breathe again. When we told Lauren that they didn't find anything in her head she said "Oh, wow! Is it empty?"  Gotta love the way they think!

This means that it is a seizure disorder and there is nothing abnormal causing the seizures. We will stay on the medication and then hopefully get a 24 hour EEG to see if she is completely seizure free.(The medication is supposed to take them away completely.) If she is completely seizure free then we keep doing what we are doing and wait a few years. You have to be two years seizure free before you are allowed to go off the medication. For these types of seizures it is usually around puberty when they show signs of whether or not they are going to grow out of them. Something about the hormone change. So, she is probably going to remain on this medication for the next ten years or so...praying that she doesn't have too many side effects.
