Sarah’s admitting went smoothly. She is hooked up to the EEG. She is in good spirits painting and watching tv. Before I left work I went over to see Sarah and Dr. Franz came in to tell us the results of the MRI. He said that the right side (the good side) looks very good and sees nothing that would suggest seizure activity. The other side is not completely burned out yet. They added tractography (not sure if I spelled that correctly), which would show if there are any connections that were missed. There were no connections that they could see. Dr. Franz’s thinks that it could be a couple things. One could be brain stem phenomenon which would be the same thing that caused the cough she had post surgery. It also could be the disconnected side releasing chemicals as it burns out that can cause seizure activity. They are hoping to get one of her episodes on the video EEG to see where all this is coming from. The doctor also told us that he glanced at her EEG and it looks good. As I told someone earlier, the knot in my stomach has gone from a softball to a golfball. Everything appears to be good news, but hasn’t really answered all the questions.

While Sarah was having a snack tonight she lost and swallowed one of her front teeth. I told her no tooth, no money. Mommy is a little softer than I am, so I am sure she will get paid anyway.
