The streak continues.

Meg's last known seizure occurred sometime Thursday night. Doctors added dilantin to her medicines Thursday night, and this may have been the answer.

This morning, both doctors again examined Meg, and proclaimed that she is doing really well. Chatter of going home has once again resumed, this time from the mouths of both doctors individually. Dr. Bluejeans suggested Monday or Tuesday already, and Dr. Wisehair reiterated the sentiment, leaning toward Monday. Of course, all is still contingent upon Meg remaining seizure free, both to our eyes and to the trained observation of nurses and an EEG that is scheduled for Monday. We are again hopeful, but as we learned earlier this week, wait for the fat lady to sing before celebrating. There will be plenty of time for rejoicing once she is home.

Beyond this hopeful forecast, and we all know how reliable forecasts are, there is little news to report today. She has eaten so hungrily and has taken her medicine so obediently that the I.V. needle, which hasn't been used in days, has been removed from her head. She remains plugged into a monitor, but despite trailing a few small wires, she is almost an average newborn. However, if her first week of life as an individual is any indication, Meg clearly has no intention of being an average newborn, an average toddler, an average child, teenager, adult, or geriatric.

We are at least +5 today. We still await answers from Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. More fluid samples were sent yesterday. Continue praying for a long term solution please. And we need two more good days without seizures so Meg can finally return to her home. Home. The word means something drastically different than it did a week ago.
