Chapel Hill Day 3 ~ Going Home!

Hello Friends!

We get to go home today! Dr. Elkay came in this morning and talked to us about Cutter's EEG. She did not see any actual seizures but she did see several episodes of abnormal discharges on the right front side of his brain where the Cortical Dysplasia is located. She did not see these discharges in September during Cutter's last EEG. She adjusted his Keppra level from 3 ml to 4.5 ml and his Dilantin level from 3 ml to 2.4 ml. Hopefully this will take care of the problem.

We will be back next week for a follow-up appointment and then sometime in April or May for his functional MRI and Neuro-Psych evaluation. They are supposed be getting those appointments set up for us, so we are not exactly sure when they will be.

We hope to be going home in the next little bit. Take a look at some of the pictures we took last night and this morning of the boys. They have both been such good little troopers!

Thank you for all of the phone calls and messages. Most importantly, thank you for the prayers!
