another update

Another update on Dylan. We did finally get the results from the EEG yesterday. NOT the results that we wanted. They did show something abnormal in the central part of his brain that goes to the right. Thats the best explanation that I can give at this time. There were a whole lot of words that I didn't understand in the report. Basically he is still at risk for another seizure. The scary part is that this activity in his brain didn't show up until he was sleeping which means that it would most likely happen in his sleep. I really want a video monitor now, but Tim wont allow it since I probably would just stay awake and watch it all the time. I guess he's right, thats exactly what I would do.
As far as we know he hasn't had another one, just the one.
So he has to have more tests done and follow up with a pediatric neurologist. Originally the appointment was scheduled for Aug 2, but she fit us in for next wednesday the 12th. That morning he also has a MRI that he has to be sedated for, not very excited for that. The good thing about having it all on the same day is that we COULD possibly get results that day! please pray for our family as we are trying to come to grips with this situation. Its so hard to understand since he is perfectly normal that we see. Please pray that we will find comfort that the LORD is in control. I'm sure that the lumps in our throats and the knots in our stomachs wont go away until we hear that he is perfectly healthy and there is nothing to worry about. Until then, we need to pray and be confident that everything is in the Lord's hands.

Hang in there Kate! I know it isn't fun to watch your child go through all this stuff. Callie had an MRI and had to follow up with a neurologist as well. Dylan will do great! Thinking and praying for Dylan and your family. Take care.
