Keppra

This post may be TMI for some people...you've been warned.

Each time KK receives an infusion of IV Vitamin C, she receives a colonic (enema) to clean out her gut. During the colonic yesterday, the nurse stopped something from going down the drain and asked me to take a look at it. It was a whole, undigested pill of Keppra (the anti-seizure medicine).  KK's body is simply not digesting them, so they are not doing what we need them to do.

I will be asking the doctors for a liquid form of Keppra today.

Praying for wisdom for the doctors re the seizure meds. Can they measure levels of the drug in her system to see if any is getting in at all?

Glad that the nurse spotted that so you can switch to liquid med. Praying that she has better success with liquid form.
