Back at MMC

So yesterday afternoon Noah was discharged from MMC. We went home.... through the evening being home it became extremely clear that he wasnt himself. Very twitchy and hyperactive and he wouldnt sleep. It was making me nervous. This morning I decided that I didnt know what was causing it and I didnt want to take the chance that it was siezures so as much as I hated the thought I had to do what was best for Noah and bring him back to MMC.
Apon arrival he was very out of sorts and wouldnt stop moving and twitching and very irritable. Thankfully some of the doctors who saw him this last week came and saw us down in the ER and they thought that he needed to be readmitted.
The doctors called the neurologist on call and he thought that maybe the hyperactivity and twitching could be caused by his increased Keppra dose and the first step was to reduce the dose and if things didnt seem to calm down they would do an EEG tomorrow. They did give him a dose of Diastat in the ER and it seemed to settle him for a while and he doesnt seem to be as hyperactive now. However last night Noah only slept a total of 2 hrs for the nurse. Which was also 1 hr here and 1 hr there it wasnt a full back to back 2 hrs of sleep. Tonight Mommy has tried everything to get him to go to sleep. I have rocked him, cuddled him, hummed to him, rubbed his head...and even crawled into bed and snuggled and his eyes are wide and he isnt going to sleep. Its gonna be a long night.
I hope tomorrow brings answers and they figure out how to help him. My poor little boy has been through so much this week... Keep those prayers coming...and hopefully the next time we go home it will be for more than 12hrs!!!
