Milestones

We've had many milestones in our partnership together, but none are quite so integral as the one we have made today.

Today Thane is six months seizure free. Though all but one of his seizures were mild, the mere fact that we have achieved such a victory so soon and especially the knowledge that this was not about epilepsy but about Lyme- well it's a big deal.

During my partnership with Chimette, it was a constant struggle and evaluation process to keep his seizures and the disease' symptoms under control. When I look back, I see it as it was- a very hard and stressful life that played a big impact on our partnership. I swore I would NEVER work a partnership through epilepsy again.

Then Thane began seizing last spring. It was a quiet nightmare I tried hard to minimize the impact on me of. Of course for Thane, there was an answer to be found that would actually cure him of seizures. It's too soon to have that *cured* feeling just yet, but six months is a good running start towards that. I don't believe he will have another seizure again or that I am having false hope believing that Thane's seizures were caused by Lyme. I just need some time before I am ready to sink my teeth into and truly believe in a cure from seizure activity.

But today is a good day. It is a day to celebrate six months free of seizures. This is a VERY GOOD THING!
