EEG

Lila's EEG looks better. Not normal, but a little bit better. She is still having abnormal bursts of energy in her left hemisphere. She has to go off the steroids (thank goodness!) so they are putting her on a anti seizure medication to see if that will help. I am really excited to get her off the steroids and see if that will help in her alertness and also in her comfort. Keep your fingers crossed for us!
What a good daddy!
Quinn and I were joking that our romantic dates have to be at the rainbow cafe at Primarys these days (actually pretty decent food). In this pic I asked him how excited he was to spend his days off at the hospital all day, this is the look he gave me. I am so glad he is here to be with me and to help lighten my mood. He has been so great.

What a little sweetheart!

If you don't see the alertness immediately, don't lose hope. My nephew has a seizure disorder and they had to try some different seizure meds to find one that didn't zonk him out, but still helped with the seizures. (Not that trying some different meds sounds fun at all, but when they found the right combo, Griff's personality came right back and he's doing much better.) Hang in there! I'm keeping Lila's name in the temple, and you are in my prayers.

I can so relate to those rainbow dates. I liked the food too. Glad to hear no more bad news on the EEG, can't wait to see what happens with the steroids.
