seizure report

So I think it's safe to assume at this point that Trevy's increase in seizures the past couple weeks was definitely connected to a brewing ear infection.


I think we're settling into a 40-ish daily range. As our current baseline.


And the bizarre-ness of being happy about that number doesn't escape me! ::smile:: But we SO are! Because...seriously...40-ish is so much better than ALL day long-ish!

On topic...


Dr. Neuro emailed yesterday to let me know she's waiting to hear from Dr. Boston. Trev's most recent EEG is waiting his reading. Buuuuuut...she did show the EEG to Dr. G (B...you need to help me think up a clever nick for him! Like maybe Dr. Hmmmmm let's not be so agressive? :) from our local neuro team. And Dr. G agrees that Vigabatrin is the next best step for Trevor.


Sooooooooooo...


Hurry up already Dr. Boston!

I LOVE Dr. Conservative! I think that'll stick...lol Dr. H emailed last night and said she's planning on Trevy starting Vig next week. I think she's been dragging feet to give the Zon a chance to work...but with Trevy's last increase he's been VERY wobbly PLUS having at least 40 szs a day. Sooooo...she's finally ready. Altho she also mentioned wanting him to have another Digitrace...and I told J that she's smokin' some serious sumthin if she thinks we're having another EEG anytime soon! lol

Whoa!
The sigh of relief for 40ish seizures makes complete sense! Crazy as that may be...it really does.
Oh I hope the Docs come forward with positive feedback for you all. I've been reading good things about Vigabatrin, may it be great for Trevy too!!

Looks like we'll be trying the vig together! I've ordered Austin's and it's on it's way...hopefully be here by the end of the week or early next week.
I just hope our ES isn't just humoring my desire to try it. He said he's not real optimistic that it will work for Austin. So, I'm afraid he won't take the dosing seriously...and I wouldn't know the difference. Maybe I can get an idea from Trevy.

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
