Doctor Update

Hello, We got to talk to Dr. Elkay this afternoon. As far as the test went this morning, there was a small glitch. While he was having the seizure right before the injection the EEG did a routine maintenance check on the computer down in the lab. Therefore, part of the information was lost. (6 seconds) This was very frustrating for us, because Dr. Elkay said she couldn't read the EEG very well because of that. However, we do not have to repeat that particular test. On Wednesday, however, we do have to do another SPECT test, but this will be done during a non-seizure event. They need to have a baseline image to be able to compare today's image to. She told us that if does not see enough seizures on the EEG report then we will have to stay through maybe Thursday or Friday. Hopefully, she will see enough by Wednesday, and maybe we can go home after the SPECT scan that afternoon. So, the plan for now is just to monitor Cutter through Wednesday, do the SPECT injection and scan on Wednesday, and we will go from there. They took Cutter off two of his medications this morning, but has since had them again. Tonight he will be back on regular schedule with his medicines. As of right now, he has had about thirteen seizures today. This could possibly be due to not having his medications this morning. Thank you for your continued prayers! He is ready to out of here already, but hopefully, it won't be too much longer!
