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!

EEG Update

We had a good day. The procedure went smooth and Sam came out of the sedation well. The tech got a great reading from the test with Sam sleeping and awake. We will have to wait for the results possibly until Monday. Thanks for the continued prayers! We felt them today, especially when Sam woke up from his nap with a giggle!

Another Seizure

Sam had another seizure today about 1:30 as we were entering his pediatrician's office. The only good thing about it was that his Dr. was able to observe his seizure and monitor his breathing. This one lasted about five minutes and stopped shortly after we administered his medication. We are scheduled for an EEG on Thursday at noon. We will have to sedate him and we will also do labs at this time. Please pray for the sedation process to go well. We will be spending most of the day in the PICU at McKennan and we will update the blog after we find out the results. Thanks for all of your thougths and prayers!

WE NEED PRAYERS!

We have had a tough last week and are in need of some prayers at our house! Jeff injured his back on Saturday morning and has been in an enormous amount of pain! We are slowly seeing improvements thanks to the Chiropractor and prescription medication. It is hard for all of us since he is unable to lift or help with Sam very much. Sam has been good for me, but he had another seizure tonight around 8:50 pm. This one lasted almost 4 minutes. We will probably need to have another EEG done and look at changing seizure meds. I will talk to his neurologist in the am. Tomorrow is a new day, praise the Lord. Let's hope it is a bit more uneventful!
