things i'm thankful for:

Clozabam:
When I think about the fact that before moving to Phoenix, before the VNS chip, before the brain surgery, before Clozabam, Damonito was having hundreds of seizures each day.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Damonito was having a bad day yesterday but that means he was having a few drop seizures every hour which doesn't seem so bad. There is a lot of excitement that surrounds the holiday so it's not surprising that he'd have more seizures. Despite the seizures he had a great day. He enjoyed some of the traditional thanksgiving feast... turkey... and of course, the traditional thanksgiving banana.
Damonito and I were playing in the living room. We were playing, "I'm gonna GET YOU!" Like any toddler, he loves it and laughs so hard that he can barely make it to the safety of the sofa before I "get him." Last year a bad seizure day would have meant that he was down for the count, in bed, not even able to come out of his room. So it was great to have a bad seizure day that would have been a good seizure day a year ago. Thanks, Ovation Pharmaceuticals for making Clozabam available in North America... Canada... you've made the life of one little boy better.
