Well She Is Home

18. January 2009 by admin.

Well Sarah is home, but doing no better. She is having quite a few seizures now. There is vomiting following the seizures, so it is hard for her to keep food down. The doctors are going to put their heads together this week and try and figure out where these seizures are coming from and what we can do about them. Since Sarah only had a functional hemispherectomy they may suggest the she have the bad tissue removed. I would hate to put her through another surgery but if it ends these seizures once and for all, I would have to be all for it. It would put her out of commission for a while, but I wouldn’t think that it would cause anymore deficits.

I guess I have to retract part of the last post where I was thinking that the episodes she was having were not seizures. We got to see a seizure that we normally wouldn’t. The infrared camera at the hospital showed Sarah waking up in the night having a seizure that looks totally different than the ones we see during the day. None of them are showing up on the right hemisphere, but that is the only comforting news we received so far.

Sarah did lose her other front tooth while she was in the hospital, but she didn’t swallow that one.

Please keep praying for Sarah.
