R is officially diagnosed

[MirandaV]

as having epilepsy. It's sad really because there are some lost opportunites for her future here. But I'm trying not to think about how it limits some things and focus on the fact that we're getting her medicated and probably won't have to deal with seizures any more. She has to have an MRI in the next couple of weeks so that'll be fun. I'm just glad the put them to sleep for it.

My brothers mom is epileptic and if you ask her, she will tell you what a full and complete life she has had Knowing you and Angelo, you wont let her be defined by her abilities Thank God you have your answers and she has wonderful parents like you. No you can start getting her treated and watch that beautiful little girl amaze you all!

I'm so glad that you guys finally have answers. As hard as it may seem at the moment, I know that you and A are amazing parents and R is very fortunate to have you guys. I know that you will not let the diagnosis define her or limit her in any sort of way. Now you can take this diagnosis and move forward to treat her and make her into a more healthy little girl.

Thanks ladies. I didn't even realize I felt sad about it until I started typing that post and got all teary.

i am so sorry... but i agree with the others- you are such a good mommy that you won't let her use anything as a crutch in life- in fact, i'll bet you'll teach her to be stronger because of it.
