The doctor decided to keep my son in the hospital for another night and day. I’m sleeping over tonight. Well, sleeping isn’t quite the right word — you have to leave all the lights on so the video will work. Why they don’t use an infared lense is beyond me. Anyway, my son is sleeping peacefully away, but I’m sure I won’t get much sleep. But all of this is a good thing — his EEG spikes are down to almost nothing now, and the doc thinks that by tomorrow, they’ll be at zero! So, the doc is keeping my son hooked up to the EEG for another day to see how that plays out. This is truly great, as we believe controlling the EEG spikes is the first step in making progress on my son’s speech and language development. In any event, thanks again to everyone for continued prayer, as this marathon hospital event has so far been far, far better than we had feared.
And now, I shall curl up on my chair, throw a sweatshirt over my eyes, and try to get some sleep!
