Mye has been keppra free since May 28. YAY!  So far so good.  Last Sunday she had an ear infection, but she had no fever and no seizure. She was put on antibiotics which knocked it out quickly. Praise the Lord!

On May 26 Mye did have a seizure. I forgot a Keppra dose 2 times in a row. She had a seizure like it one time before at a hotel on our way home from Mexico in March. My Mom (who was with us when Mye was acting oddly) recently reminded me of it. I kept trying to deny that it was a seizure. What she does is turn her head to the left and her eyes deviate up and to the left. The odd thing is that she can look at you and respond when you ask a question, but then she turns her head and eyes back to the left again.
 
Below is the note I made on her seizure tracker site:
