We always expected that Eloise's 16 day seizure-free streak was only temporary. What we did not expect, however, is that her seizures would come back and almost immediately send us back to the hospital. All seizures suck. But SCN1A-related seizures are especially brutal.
With a 16-day pause from seizures (although today they came back 😥), it gave Brian and I some time to start thinking about our own needs, planning for her future, and enjoying the fact that she is still developing.
Eloise is 11 months old, wow! Looking back, wow we have so much more capacity this week than we did a month ago. I think there are quite a few things contributing.
I can’t remember the last time I made a New Year’s resolution. And I never really understood that trend to pick a “word” for the next year. Yet here we are.

From time to time, someone says, "Hey, Mallory, you should make a book!" So, well. Here I am, telling you about the book I made. Although perhaps not the book some were expecting.
