The waiting game continues

The results of the PET scan are in but inconclusive so we are still waiting to find out where the seizures are coming from. There are multiple potential points of origin that show up on the PET so without capturing them on on EEG it is everyone's guess as to where they are coming from. The plan is to continue to wean Keppra and Diazapam until she throws something. She definitely has more neurological symptoms now with the wean but hasn't thrown a definitive seizure yet. Mostly I think we are just seeing withdrawal type symptoms and some increased electrical discharges that aren't normal but aren't a full blown seizure yet. I pray that when she does have one that it is small and easy to recover from. Everyone on our floor of the hospital is well aware of her presence. She has been quite noisy while here. She is also starting to run a low temperature so hopefully that goes away quickly. I will continue to keep this updated as we know more. God Bless!
