Almost Wednesday

Around 8am Wednesday morning I will try to make Brennan laugh right before he gets wheeled off for the second brain surgery in less than a week.  I will show him with my eyes that everything is going to be ok and there is nothing to worry about. It will just feel like seconds have gone by when he wakes up and then he'll get to scratch his itchy head finally. It will be awesome.

The doctor said that he can't make any promises, but he feels good about this.  The 6 required seizures were all in the same general area, and all inside the area of the grid.  Brennan couldn't just make it so simple. He had about 4 more seizures that were all different than his typical ones (more of absence seizures) and were even in a slightly different area. Still nearby, and still in the middle of the grid (not being on the edge was a good thing). So, the doctor can go a little further out and hopefully still get all the naughty spots out.  We were told that seizures could increase for a short time and not to get down about it.  That's just the brain trying to adapt, but we will try not to let it by continuing meds (but hopefully less so there are fewer side effects). Meds will continue for "at least" one year.  Probably longer (hey, we're a bit paranoid since it was an attempt to wean that started this whole mess about 18 months ago).

I pray, I beg, I plead that this cures my son.
