Day Four Morning Update

Hello, Well, last night was eventful for poor little Cutter. He started crying about 11:30 and cried until 1:00 a.m. We couldn't figure out what in the world was wrong with him. He wouldn't tell us that anything hurt. We checked his arm but didn't see anything wrong. By 1:00 a.m. the nurse came in and unwrapped his arm where his IV was. The IV had gone bad, and his entire hand and arm were swollen. We felt awful! They gave him some Tylenol and some heat packs (which he did not use, of course). They decided to wait on giving him another IV, and we were all able to get some sleep, at least from 1:30 til 6:00. At 6 this morning they gave him a new IV and drew blood to check his medication levels. He has not had any seizures since yesterday around 11:30 a.m. He had an order for "nothing by mouth" after midnight, so we were eating at 10:30 last night! He didn't get to have his test until 12:30 today, and he is so hungry. He kept asking for cookies and prizes and something to drink. Talk about making you feel awful! Since he couldn't eat or drink, neither did we. So, he is gone for his scan right now. Just like last time, it will take about an hour to complete, and then we get to see him. We get to wait with him while he wakes up from sedation. He will be hooked up to the EEG monitor again once he gets back to the room. If all goes well, then we may get to come home tomorrow! YAY! Nothing like being at home! We will keep you updated. Thank you for the prayers. They certainly help!
