Just plain exhausted, but finally HOME

Arthur got discharged this past Thursday. The Neuro team asked how we were doing and I said,
" We would really like to go home."
They talked about needing more seizures on EEG for pre-surgical testing, but since I wasn't seriously
entertaining the idea of surgery if was fair to ask to go home.



So he had a fancy MRI done and we were out by 6pm.
It was SO nice to be home. Got one evening with the family and the next day was
a field trip and back to work at the hospital for three straight nights. UGH
Lets just say I have not caught up on my sleep AT ALL

Hospitalizations and the worry and fear that come with them, drain everything out of you.


I spoke with Arthur's neurologist via email on Friday and she said
all the neurologists, neurosurgery, etc meet on Mondays.
The go over all tests results and decide on a plan.
Then she will call me on Monday.
They still have to fuse his MRI to his PET scan, which I looked up and it's a pretty cool thing. You
really can see so much more detail that way.

So for now Arthur is back on the same meds at the same dose. We patiently wait till Monday for the results of our "week  get-away" at the hospital.

AND

Yup, you guessed it. NO SEIZURES
