We took Olivia to the hospital on Tuesday.  The Paediatrician was pleased to hear she'd been so well.  He said to keep her on the same dose of Lamotrigine but has stopped her Epilim as she was on such a small amount.

We asked if they're likely to try reducing her medication but he said no.  She's got to be seizure free for 2 years.  I asked if that just ment the passing out ones etc rather than the absences but he said they count too as they alter her speech, concentration, movement etc.  I was quite surprised as all though I'd been worried about them in the beginning they were nothing compared to the other types and we don't pay much attention to them.

She's still be really well (touch wood!!) and it's fantastic.
