We got to talk to Dr. Elkay this morning. She read Cutter's EEG from yesterday and saw no signs of any seizures! She did see what is called "the tendency to have seizures" but no seizures resulted from any of those events. The plan for this visit is to do monitoring for the next day or so, do some medication adjustments and go home.
At UNCCH they are getting a new epilepsy center with better equipment and better monitoring. This will be in July. She plans to have us back then for more monitoring. Between now and then we need to come back for a neuro-psych evaluation to see how Cutter is doing developmentally. We will also have to come back for a FMRI, which is a procedure where they will wait for Cutter to have a seizure and then inject him with radioactive isotopes to see exactly which parts of his brain are being affected by the seizure.
In July they will look more closely at surgery again. It will really just depend upon what all of the tests show. We are praying that God's will will be done and that we will accept what He has planned for us.
Thank you for all of your support and especially the prayers! We will update again later!
