Hi there - Cody's been in the hospital since 8:30am. We're happy (I can't believe I'm saying this) to report that he's had 7 seizures already! These EEG situations are the only times in our lives that seizures are good news. I'm doing the overnight shift at the hospital and Don's coming home with Casey. I am armed with DVD's (chick flicks that Don would never want to watch) and magazines. For Don's night shift, I got the newest Die Hard movie. Cody took a nap today after one bigger seizure. And he's been able to walk around the room with one person holding his "electrode pack" above his head. He has 29 electrodes on his head and all the wires connect to a "master" unit that you have to carry around with him when he walks. But it has to be in a place where he can't touch it - hence the "above his head" part. The other person has to turn the joystick on the camera to follow Cody and keep him on camera at all times in case he has a seizure. I got some new toys that I will introduce each time he gets too restless. I've got my breast pump, bottles, storing containers etc. with me. What a drama! haha. But we're trying to have good spirits about it and look for laughs wherever we can get them. So there you go - thankfully we have seizures on tape and whenever we get "enough" of them and they show the neurologist enough of what he needs to know, we can go home. They scheduled us for 6 days but I'm praying for early release! with love, shawna |
