We have been in a private room in 5 West-Neuro Surgery wing on the 5th floor since around 1:00 p.m. It took us a little work to get up here, seeing that this unit still had Katie scheduled to come up from the ICU on Wednesday. But, we finally made it up here.
They have already put her through quite a lot of testing today. I won't go into it all but most of it had to do with her hearing sounds and words. Tomorrow morning she is scheduled for some extensive language mapping. As long as Katie can tolerate it, it will last approximately 2 hours.
The head EEG technician, Dr. Asano just told us that Katie had 7 seizures, the last being around 2:30 a.m. this morning. Dr. Asano is in the room right now setting up for some language testing right now. This will help map out where the language cortex is located in relation to where the seizures have been occurring. There is a possibility that the language cortex could be in the area where the seizures are originating from. That would not be good because they have to remove any brain tissue that is causing the seizures.
