New Pics Of Lou !

Lous EEG is thursday on the 11th !

So Lou has his EEG Thursday morning for his absent seizures. and hes really excited about it. not about the EEG thou. He's excited because the doctor told us he needs to stay up til atleast 11oclock and up by 4. And i told him 2 nights ago that he gets to stay up until momma gets home. So now he keeps asking 'so i get to stay up tomorrow night and do whatever i want right?' or 'is tomorrow here yet i want to stay up and do whatever i want' and keeps saying 'i get to do whatever i want tomorrow night don't i Amy' hes tickled to pieces he gets to stay up late. but he doesnt want to stay up on the weekends. Go figure that one out.

Absent siezures OH NO !

Two weeks ago Lou started having very noticeable absent seizures. He's always had them but they are starting to get stronger and lasting just a little bit longer. The next day me and momma asked his teacher if they have noticed him 'spacing out' and her answer was 'no but we'll keep an eye on him and if he does they'll send a note home' well 2 days ago we got a note saying he 'Lou spaced out a few times but he had a wonderful day' and at this point its got me worried since his teachers are noticing it now. so i called lous doctor and talked to his nurse and told them about him having the stronger seziures and asked them 'how bad do they have to be to get seen' and her exact answer was 'he needs to be seen as soon as possible'. So yesterday we took him to the doctor and Dr Goodbar said from what we are seeing and describing his episodes are indeed absent seizures. He has scheduled him to have a EEG on December 11th and he goes to see a neurologist on December 30th and we'll know more then

Dr Goodbar doesnt see it neccessary to put him on antiseizure medicine yet but he said it probably will happen in the future.

So i ask everyone to PLEASE keep this boogerbutt in your prayers. Hes been thru so much already in his short 8 years of life.



But what we do know is that Dr Mclanahans office doesnt think its his shunt and they do agree that the best place to start is getting a EEG and getting it looked at by a neurologist.



Seizures CANNOT hurt you! They're just very scarey.



My nerves are shocked to pieces i really do not want Lou to go thru Seizures i'm not ready for this, but then again i wasnt ready for him to have 2 shunt malfunctions either. So with prayer and faith i know that we can get thru this with him !
