EEG

Ella’s EEG was done today. The results are the best that anyone could have expected. There is no seizure activity whatsoever!!. No trace of the old devil. They tested Ella in sleep and awake states and tried to induce seizure activity with strobe light. Nothing, nada, kloom. The right hemisphere showed, as expected, no activity, nothing there. The left, totally normal brain activity. Dr. Duffy whom we met with afterwards was very enthusiastic. His plan is to reduce the remaining medication Ella is taking to nothing in a span of two months. He also remarked that we might see better results than we thought concerning the use of her left hand. He is basing this on the fact that she started moving her left side right after surgery, which isn’t typical. Ella is doing ok. We are waiting for dramatic changes, a move towards turning over or sitting up. This probably won’t happen. It’s going to be a gradual process. As long as it moves forward. That’s fine. The pain she seemed to have when being moved is all but gone. She is quite content most of the time.
