Hello everyone!

We finally heard from the doctor.

Aggie did have a seizure during the EEG- what they call a partial or focal
seizure. She does officially have epilepsy, "temporal lobe epilepsy" to be
exact. According to the doctor, as far as epilepsy goes this is the kind to
have- it is the most likely kind to go away by the teenage years.

The next step is to search for possible underlying causes (there are a million
and some are quite scary). Tomorrow I take her for blood work, and after that
an MRI (within a week or two.)

We will be referred to a pediatric neurologist in Indianapolis after we have
some more info from the tests. From there, we decide whether or not to treat,
and if so how.

Honestly I am not surprised by this diagnosis- actually I am a little relieved
that they did find something- I did not want to be the paranoid mother that had
to insist to a bunch of skeptical doctors that SOMETHING is wrong with my
Aggie!

So we will continue to wait, and rely on the Lord for strength and wisdom for
each day. Your prayers for her and our family are very much appreciated.
