Day Three Morning

Good Morning! Cutter didn't sleep as well last night as he did on Sunday night. He had a few episodes, though Dr. Elkay is not convinced that they were actual seizures. Chris and I were awake about every hour pushing buttons to record the events, describing what we saw and writing down the times. We are a little exhausted today. This morning, Cutter has already had about 15 seizures. He has already had a little nap because they made him so sleepy. Since his nap, however, he has been in a great mood. He was very excited to see his brother when he woke up. They have really missed each other. Dr. Elkay is going to give Cutter Fosphenytoin through an IV this morning to slow down his seizures. This is to prepare him for his test tomorrow. They will do the SPECT test again during a non-seizure event. The test will probably be sometime after lunch since he usually has most of his seizures in the morning. So, today we sit. And sit. And sit. And sit. And Cutter does not like it not one little bit. (Thought we would go for a little Dr. Seuss there!) It is very hard for a 2 year old to sit in one place for such a long period of time! Especially this 2 year old. Maybe he can play at some point in the near future. There is a big playroom upstairs that we can borrow toys from. We will go get some soon. That is all for now! More later when we have more news! Have a blessed day!
