The MRI was pretty much what we expected she has damage due to the loss of oxygen she had at birth and it seems that there has been no new trauma to the brain witch is good. The bad news she has damage on both the left and right and he said that makes the possibility of a grand-mal more likely. We have gotten the diastat for emergency.


The ambulatory EEG did show some seizures while Shelby was sleeping. He started her on Keppra 100mg/ml and I have to give her one ML at night before bed for the first week, then 1ml at night and 1ml in the morning for the second week then 2mls at night and 2mls in the morning and we will be at the dose they want her on. So tonight at 6:30 I gave her 1ml and by 7:30 she was falling asleep in her chair so I got her ready for bed and when I went in a few minutes ago she was snoring. I hate that I am having to start her on Meds I am so scared that I will forget to give it to her I am just so bad at remembering meds. I have made a chart so I can keep up with the dosing schedule and am going to set an alarm to try to help me remember to give it to her until I get used to the routine. I hope she doesn't have any bad side effects. I guess I'm just feeling a bit sad that she is going through yet another bump in the road that is her life. My heart aches for my little girl.
