Hello Doctor

Yesterday Brianna had an appointment with her neurologist. Everything looks great but because she also has the petit mals seizures they've decide that in order to get a better picture of what is going on she needed an ambulatory EEG. It's been several years since we've had one so probably a good idea. Of course being the diva that she is Brianna does not want one. The idea of walking around with wires attached to her head for 24hrs does not appeal to a tween... go figure =) Thankfully we scheduled it after the school year ends so she doesn't have to be subjected to the torture at school. She can stay home and relax. However she cannot play her DS or use her cell phone. You would have thought we said she needed her arm cut off the way she reacted to that news LOL 
Crossing my fingers the results show an improvement from the last EEG. It's hard enough being a tween/teen and all the normal "problems" that brings so I can't imagine how Brianna feels about having seizure disorder. Kids just want to fit in and this probably makes her feel like she doesn't =( It breaks my heart.
She wants to play soccer next year and of course when filling out the forms I had to mention her condition. I've noticed she hasn't return her forms yet. I am wondering if she's afraid that they won't let her play.
With Dan talking about getting his license (1year 10mths, yes he is counting)  I start to wonder if Brianna will ever be able to get hers. So many questions about what the future holds for her. I guess we should just focus on the present. For now her seizures are under control and that is a blessing =)
