Last night we had quite a scare. Scott started having little seizures. In the past those little seizures led up to a grand mal, which is a really big seizure. If a grand mal seizure happens, we're in big trouble since it could take a very long times (weeks-months) for him to recover from the brain trauma caused by the seizure alone. At this point we can't afford that kind of time to delay treatment. With the help of our neighbors, Mike and Joe, I got Scott to the emergency room at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. They did a scan of his brain and didn't find any serious looking problems like bleeding or infections. They suspected that some the normal swelling that comes post surgery was causing his little seizures. I was able to take him home with increased steroids and seizure medications. Today I'm watching him very closely and tomorrow he will still get the Gamma Knife radiation treatment as planned. He should still be starting chemo early next week. We can't afford any delays in this treatments. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
