Last night Meg experienced several more seizures, totaling eight in about eighteen hours. After three days of no visibly detectable seizures, this was a setback. The doctors boosted her dosage of p.b. to bring her blood levels from 30 somethings to 41 somethings this morning. More mumbo jumbo. So far since 7:30 this morning, we have not observed any seizures. The EEG technician referred to this morning's EEG report as "beautiful." Furthermore, Meg continues to grow stronger and hungrier. We have essentially stopped keeping track of her intake because she is eating too quickly from breast and bottle for us to gauge. Meg spent over an hour awake, eyes open, and - very important here - not crying, just observing.
Finding a seizure preventative and right dosage remains the primary task here at St. V's while we await spinal fluid analysis from Minnesota. So far, Day 6 finds Meg at about +3.
