Seizures continue

Today seemed to be fairly uneventful as Shaun is still in the pentobarbital induced coma... completing over 24 hours .  Sadly, the continuous EEG still is recording spikes in Shaun's brain activity which tells us that his brain is still having seizure activity instead of the intended rest - despite his calm exterior. This is not good news.

For tonight, the doctors are going to maintain the induced coma, continuing to give him the max dose of Keppra, and adding Vitamin B6 and Lacosamide to try to stop the seizures. They will re-evaluate in the morning depending on how things go tonight.

Because of Shaun's unstable state, they have not been able to take him for any scans of his brain, and are yet to have anything definitive as to why this has occurred.  The only possible explanation given at this time is disease progression.

So Shaun continues to "sleep" as we pray that this seizure activity stops and the doctors have wisdom in his treatment.
