Confirmed! Josh had a seizure yesterday afternoon, albeit a very small one. It was in the right frontal region, which is good. He's on his way. This is really good news and we're hopeful he will continue to have seizures now that he has "broken the ice." The docs would like to see at least three seizures to get enough data to proceed to a resection.
Josh's spirits are pretty good, although he gets bored easily. I call him the mayor of the PICU because he loves to schmooze the nurses, residents, doctors, and parents of fellow patients. Another 17-year-old came into the PICU last night after a similar operation and I know Josh is just itching for him to wake up from surgery so he can make friends.
Robyn, Josh and I enjoyed a full home-cooked meal last night, thanks to Eve. She brought us delicious pot roast, carrots, and spaetzle, followed by homemade strawberry shortcake. We love the takeout options here in Gotham, but there's nothing like a home-cooked meal to bring warmth and love to our hospital stay. Thank you, Eve!

ReplyDeleteAny L sided activity, or was it strictly localized to that right frontal area? I know, I'm your nosiest blog subscriber, but I want to know everything. All seems to be moving in the right direction! Yay!

Hopefully the doctors will see what they hope so Josh can move on to a road to recovery. I can see Josh as the "mayor" of the unit - he has the gift of gab!
ReplyDeleteI send you all well wishes!
