Lowering the Dose: Week 2 1ml

4/16/2013-As of April 10, 2013 we lowered the dose of Keppra to 1ml and kept Brayden on the B6.  Brayden continues to wake pleasant in the morning, is your typical 2 yr old during the day, and is eating well.  He still has not displayed any aggressive behaviors, once again reinforcing my belief that he had Keppra Rage.

Over the past week, Brayden had 1 night episode, 3 severe BHS, 4 seizures, and several simple BHS.  Tomorrow we lower the dose one more time to .5ml and stop the B6.  This will be his last week on medication.  We will then do one week with no medicines, vitamins or other means to treat seizures, to make sure everything is out of his system before starting the Essential Oils.

At this time, I have the Frankincense, Serenity, and Balance.  I will be ordering Lavender, and a carrier oil call Fractionated Coconut Oil, which is used to dilute oils when using them topically.  I still am getting info on how to use the oils, where to apply, how to dilute, and how often to apply.  I am looking forward to starting this process as with anything it takes time to start working.  I am excited that this could be the resolution to this condition, rather than medicating.
