We have increased Lucas' Canadian meds again, but have yet to see any dramatic improvement. We will meet with Dr. Burris again in January and see where we'll go next. It is possible that even before our late January meeting that we will be at Children's Hospital for the 23 hour EEG. (Lucas will have leads on his head for an entire 23 hour period and there will be a video camera in the ceiling of the room to catch the visual corresponding with the brain waves.) I don't imagine that knowing where in the brain the seizures are occurring would affect medications since there is no way to target only one part of the brain, but perhaps it will help to give us some direction. I don't know. That is a question on the list for our next appointment.
We will have a load of pics up after the holidays, but there are a few up already if you want to have a peek at our handsome little guy and our good friends Katie and Carlie Fischer. :)
