26 Mar 10
After reducing the sodium valporate level, there was no noticeable change in her episodes frequency. We also noticed that her alertness level has somewhat increased. There are short periods when she will opened her eyes with a dazed look.
Praise God! We decide to cut down the level of medication once again (with prior permission given by neurologist) and will monitor her for another week.
Our concern is whether Charlene is growing developmentally. Even during the period when she's alert, she is not playful. She usually only cries (to indicate that she wants to be picked up) in the afternoon or sleep. It's very difficult to find time to do exercise to develop her limbs muscle and neck muscles. Her tracking remains poor too. And she's no longer interested in sucking the pacifier. And its been some time since she last smiled.
Lord, we prayed that You blessed Charlene with healing, that her brain may regenerate and form new neural connections within different parts of the brain. Lord, we prayed that Charlene will become alert and playful and will learn to interact with the environment.
