So Much For Good News

On Friday, Conner had his first seizure. He has had several since then as well. Tonight since 7:00 pm they have come on the hour. It looks like it will be a long night. We took him to the Dr. on Friday and she didn't do much. Then when we took him in Monday to see his actual pediatrician,
where we were told that he had a left ear infection, a cold, and bronchiolitis? or whatever they said. Anyways, he is now on Keppra for seizure control. We are working on getting that dose right to control them better. He also is on antibiotics for his infections and nebulizer breathing treatments every four hours for his chest congestion. Sounds like we will be going to Ft. Worth for another EEG so his neurologist can see what is going on. Most likely they emerged due to him being sick.

At least he was well for Christmas. There are many other parents on the loop that had sick children, and spent Christmas in the hospital. Hopefully he will get better soon, and we can say goodbye to the seizure activity for a little while.
