Well, that's better...

Lola has been doing so much better with the Trileptal wean. From the first day, she stopped the drop attacks, her walking got steadier and more fluid, and she was a much happier girl. She also stopped turning her right eye in whenever she focuses on something close-up. What a relief! We still have two more days left of the wean, and today she started on the full am dose of Keppra. She's a little tired and whiney today, but other than that she's doing great. It is such a relief to have those drop seizures go away - it was so disheartening to see her have them. We worried constantly that she was going to hurt herself.
So everyday it's something new again. We love it when that happens. She's much more ticklish being off that med for some reason. She likes to be chased, and giggles when Steve says he's going to get her. Liam has been having fun watching Lola get into trouble. He just laughs and says, "Lola..." with a smile on his face. He doesn't stop her, mind you. Today she climbed onto the couch, then over onto the coffee table trying to get a candy wrapper. She also likes to walk along the couch cushions, giving us all heart attacks. What a girl. It's great to see how much more steady she is on her feet. She walks around all day long. Right now she is into snatching things off the counter on her travels - pretty much anything that she can reach. Last night as I was making dinner, I washed some potatoes and put them on the counter. When I turned around to turn on the oven, I noticed her booking it out of the kitchen - doing something naughty. I found her in the living room eating a potato like an apple! What a sneaker. She was really fast too! I guess she was trying to tell me she was hungry.
Right now they're watching the new Transformers movie, and Lola just laughed out loud at a fight scene. ?! What's that about?
