Waiting to hear was not easy. It wasn't a long wait, but when it's this important it's forever. The doctor said the seizure started in the area with the grid! They wish it was more precise and they'd love to see seizures with Brennan's aura (right hand goes cold and numb, but it's the right hand and that's more likely to be from a seizure starting on the left side which is not where they think Brennan's are starting).
They want to see 5 more seizures. Well, I'll bet my kid won't disappoint!
They are letting him rest today and tomorrow they will do something called motor mapping. That's the puppet master stuff where they tickle his brain and make him move stuff and also ask him to move stuff and see if they make it stop. They'll also test language. The biggest risk is probably left leg weakness.
We're moving from the ICU to the PEMU (Pediatric Epilepsy Monitoring Unit) in the next few minutes.

Brennan has been living with epilepsy since his first seizure on October 14, 2006. This is his story as told mostly by his mother.
