So, hang in there with me, because it looks better at the end. David had some ninja seizures today. However, it was not *continuous* seizures, just a little here and a little there.
Now for the good news. The neurologist was watching the seizures and noticed that they went away when one of David's new seizure meds was given! After a while the little ninjas came back, BUT now we know medicine that might make them go away. So they are increasing the dose of that medicine, and all of this is happening while they can watch on the EEG monitor.
I see this as good news. I was starting to think ahead and wonder how or what we would do if or when the seizures came back. So having them back here, in tiny amounts ata time where they can watch and see how to make them go away is a very good thing to me. So, there's no guarantees, but there never were, and at least know we have a medicine that's working on them.
(If you are wondering, they did try this medicine before doing the coma. They saw it had an effect on the seizures, but it just couldn't stop them. I suspect this is because they were constant and had been irritating his brain for so long. Hopefully it will be different now.)
