So thankful.

I just got off the phone with the doctor who saw Will in Delhi a month ago. Will had another seizure last week after 3 weeks of no seizures, and also had a rash appear on his face over a few days. We emailed with the doctor our concern that the medicine was perhaps not working and the rash was a side-effect that would need attention, and he requested that we bring Will down to Delhi again and have more tests done. In the past few days, however, the rash has completely disappeared, so we felt that the trip may not be necessary. We were encouraged to go anyway by a nurse here, and so I called the doctor to find out details about the trip- when he could see us, how many days it would take, what tests would be done etc. When I mentioned that the rash had disappeared, he said that we should continue with the same medicine and just wait. He said that if Will has another seizure, then we should get blood work done and consider a trip to Delhi and perhaps a change in medicine or dose. This response was such a blessing to us as we really didn't feel that the trip to Delhi would be beneficial at this time-- with no real sense of what we'd be trying to accomplish there and no sense of a definite problem with what we're currently doing. We are so thankful that the doctor has told us to just wait and see. It feels good to be in agreement with him about this and it is very nice to not have to go to Delhi right now.
