Tuesday Josephine was admitted into the hospital for a Video-EEG, MRI, food study, and lab work. Right before being discharged, the neurologist came tell us her preliminary findings from the EEG. She said Josephine was having tonic seizures, and prescribed Keppra. (At this time) she was not given any other anti-seizure medication. Now that I am home and reading more about seizures and Keppra I have many more questions for the doctor. (Even though she was having a Video- EEG, I was not prepared to hear that she was having seizures). I have read that Keppra is not given/taken by itself--it is in addition other anti-seizure medications. Do any of your little ones take Keppra by itself? Also, how can I determine if she is experiencing weakness (a side effect) when she has hypotonia?
I have a follow-up appointment with her neurologist in January and I hope to get the actual report in a week or two. Meanwhile I am
beginning to formulate more questions. Any advice or infromation you can give would be greatly appreciated.
