New News

So last night wasnt much better for Noah and myself. I saw very little siezure activity but he didnt sleep very much either. Finally got him to sleep around 3 am and was awake around 430. At 530 he slept for 2 hrs and really hasnt napped much today.
The doctor came around 5pm tonight and thinks that Noah may be having trouble sleeping because its a new environment for him, the wires could be making him itch and he cant tell us, or he could be having a withdrawal from the sabril. He also said that he thinks that some of Noahs movements that we see are not siezures afterall just movements and that some of the seizures that look like his infantile spasms have returned are just siezures and not infantile spasms. Tonight he is taking him completely off from the Sabril and putting him on a new med called Phenobarbital. This med could cause him to be sleepy. So its really hard to decide whether we keep him on a drug to make him blind or a drug that could make him sleepy. But I figured we could try this new one and if it does take this kind of effect on him then we will stop. But its worth trying to save his vision! And Im more comfortable with taking him off and switching while in the hospital and not at home after this spring's episode! It makes it a little less stressful knowing that he is going on something to replace Sabril too.
Tonight they are also giving him some benadryl in hopes that if the cap is keeping him up due to being itchy it will help as well.
So crossing our fingers for sleep and a healthy happy night.....I end my post!
Update tomorrow afternoon!
