9:38 p.m. Update - Seizure #1 Passed

At about 8:50 p.m. Katie had a complex partial seizure, with the hand jerking and eye fluttering; similar to the bad one she had back when they did the video EEG. Thankfully, knowing that this would likely occur, the doctors had the needed meds right in the room to administer to her within a couple of minutes of the start of the seizure. She was given oxygen due to her oxygen level dropping. The nurses stayed right in the room until it was over. After a couple of minutes, the seizure subsided. This is the first seizure of the three they want to map over the next couple of days. It wasn't as bad as the one last month, but to us, it was bad enough.

Sandra and I both plan to stay here in the ICU with Katie overnight.

Bob & Sandra,
We are praying for you. Is there anything else we can do?

What hospital are you all at?
