Eon's last seizure was on July 31, 2010 and last July 2011 we had our thanksgiving celebration to mark his 1st year of being seizure free. Today, Dr. Agbisit informed us Eon should undergo an EEG (Electroencephalography) test on June to measure brain waves and if the results turn out normal, and he does not have any seizure attacks until then, Eon would be maintenance free by July. It was such good news and we can't wait for July to come so Eon can be free of medicines for the first time in his life. Prayers are powerful.
Although there has been set backs with Eon's development, he is able to cope up very well and I don't mind the delay. He started walking independtly at exactly 2 years old, and now at 2 years and 3 months, he is able to say "Mama", "Mommy", "Dada", "Daddy","Nanay", and "Di" this is what he calls his ate Adi. Although we keep on calling Adi "Ate Adi", Eon can only say the last syllable.
Adi always comes with us whenever Eon has his checkups so she understands that her little brother needs extra care. Adi has been exceptional in taking care of Eon, she would always say "Mommy, ako bantay kay Eon ha" (Mommy, I'll take care of Eon) and keeps on saying that she will take care of her little brother when they go to school in the future. She's 3 years old and will be going to school soon. We told her she has to go first because Eon will have to wait another year.
Looking back at the last 2 years, I used to think that the 2-year period in which Eon shouldn't have seizures was light years away. Little did I notice that time has gone too fast and I realize that it was only through prayers that Eon survived and have become seizure free. I know it's still a bit early to celebrate, but I have faith in God and I'm claiming His promise to "Ask and it shall be given"...
I thank God for the wisdom he provided to our Pedia-Neurologist, Dr. Gilda Fernandez- Agbisit, and our Pediatricians, Dr. Norman Babar and Dr. Jinky Deblois. May God bless them and heal through them as He is the Great Physician.
To God be the Glory!
