EEG Results

So Noahs Neurologist called yesterday because I thought Noah might be having a reaction to his new meds. The doctor didnt seem to feel that he was. But while I had him on the phone I asked about his EEG. Good and Bad news!
The Good news is that Noahs EEG had improved since the last one done in August. It showed no signs of hipsarithmia ( unusual brain wave pattern associated with Infatile Spasms) YAY!!! No more Infantile Spasms...... so excited.
The Bad news was that his brain still shows signs of irritation probally formed from siezure activity. He is still having those small shakes to his head, less frequently but they are still happening. The DR said that if these keep up he is going to do a take home all day EEG and see if some of these can be seen on an EEG to find out exactly what they are. That should be fun (sarcastic).
But all in all its good news because siezures are easier to control than Infantile Spasms. They scare me to death.....but more is known about them.
So it seems we might have overcome ONE battle.......
This is why I am doing the Epilepsy Walk to help raise money to learn more about siezures and help find more cures......
