Back in the hospital

Cailyn is back in the hospital. We went to the ER at Johns Hopkins last night on the advice of her neurologist because she was still having seizures after a week on the Ativan. She's still there and Curt is staying with her tonight. Her last seizure was midnight last night. She's started some new medicine and had a new EEG today. They say she'll probably get out of the hospital tomorrow.

She has now failed on two medicines so there is only a 1 to 5% chance any other medicine will be able to control her seizures. The next steps that are available are the Ketogenic Diet, which I understand is like Atkins, or Brain Surgery.

Heading to bed soon but registration opens for swim class for Cailyn at midnight and if I don't sign up tonight they'll surely be filled up.
