What a fantastic outcome for little Nova, after such a arduous journey, 6 weeks seizure free

Hi!!!! 😃
Nova is completely seizure free and thriving!!!! I wish you all could feel the joy in my heart and how proud I am of my baby girl! She has worked so hard and fought so good and our dreams for nova are coming true. I am so proud of her I can’t even explain to you.

Since our last post, we did have a couple setbacks including one emergency surgery, and one long hospital stay, but we have resolved those issues and nova has been seizure free since. She is currently six weeks without a seizure.

Nova is so happy and we haven’t seen her this healthy since she was a baby. I’m telling you, I’m so proud of her my eyes just fill with tears.

Im mortified it’s been so long since I’ve posted and I’m so sorry if anyone has had to worry about nova. Our lives are so busy and all the days just melt together. But I needed to let everyone know not only is she doing good- she is doing great.
All our love,
Barbara
