After Justin's treatment today, we had a medical team appointment. The main doctor came in first, which was unusual. He checked Justin's scalp for issues (none), encouraged him to keep walking the three miles a day, and answered our questions about travel, meds, the future. He told Justin how good he was doing, that he needs to come back in 2 months for an MRI and a visit to the thyroid doctor.
Even though Justin has not had any seizure activity for a month, the doctor said he must stay on the same dosage of his anti-seizure medications. He said if it got to the point of going 3 years without seizures, he might think of slowly easing him off one. Although that is a little disheartening, it is also something simple that Justin can do.
The nurse came in and told us she would work to get Justin's next appointments on the same day, and she would let us know soon when that would be.
Finally, the resident doctor came in. He is usually first. I told him thanks for all they have done for Justin. He told us that they look forward to the patients like Justin who actually do better. He said it keeps them going. That was nice to hear.
