EEG Results

We found out results of the EEG today. This was faster than we had anticipated, but Sam's team of doctors is wonderful and always quick to keep us informed. The results were abnormal which we sort of anticipated due to the increased seizure activity. The test showed that Sam is having abnormal activity in his left front temperal lobe. We were happy to get results from the test to help the Dr. proceed with the best treatment for Sam. He has decided to take a conservative approach by watching and waiting. His medication levels are good and we hope to see them controlling the seizures. In the event that they do not and we see more seizure activity, we will have to look at medication changes. We are very confident in the neurologist and his decision. Please continue to pray for the seizures to be controlled!

Hi all! I haven't checked in for a while, and wow, you guys have had a lot happen! Will keep you in my prayers. Erin, Sam, Jeff, and Rachael paid a visit to my SPED class in Sept., and now I'm hearing "Sam" stories from some Augie students who are spending some time with them. Thanks for sharing your lives and witness with us!
