I just hung up with the neurologist who said that evidently the way the EEG was explained incorrect and we were given “misinformation.” While there is no seizure activity, there IS slow wave activity which is consistent with the damage in that area of the brain---it is something you expect to see with the type of damage mom had to her brain. No medication…at this time at all. NONE is needed (thank God!)
The neurologist said that without looking at her, the neurologist can’t diagnose any reason for the problem but if mom becomes confused, disoriented, lethargic….following the fidgetiness, the neurologist said, “Then we have something to hang our hat on. But…she is OUR MIRACLE BABY!!! Leave her that way. She’s fine.” The neurologist said it could just be fidgetiness due to wanting to become, and becoming, more active—that is a strong possibility.
I asked the neurologist about mom having the general anesthesia to have the kidney stone procedure. The neurologist said that there is always a risk factor involved when anesthesia is used especially when a head injury is involved. However, the neurologist feels that it appears mom needs the procedure so she should be fine.
Thank God. “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord” Psalm 150:6
