Teresa R. - Husband's Health

As many of you know, back at the end of November, Chuck went into multiple seizures in a row and was hospitalized for 3 days. It happened as he was starting to feel better after having covid. We are 5 months in. Over the course of the last 5 months, Chuck and I have met with the neurologist PA-C twice- once to change medication. She had said he will likely have to be on medication for at least 2 years. 

Yesterday, we met with the neurologist heading his case. We got some really good news! He said that given the fact that 1) he has no new seizure activity 2) no past seizures and 3) he had covid at the onset of seizures that it is unlikely that he will have anymore seizures and we than discussed coming off the medication right around the 6 month mark. Chuck decided that he wants to come off the medication. He will start cutting down on his meds on May 20th. 

In the unlikely event that he has another seizure, he agreed to go back on medication (just not keppra) and staying on it as he will officially be diagnosed with epilepsy.
