Please see the previous post for details on events leading up to today.
Sandra called the neurologist today and left a message with his office about Katie. Within minutes, the head assistant to the doctor called Sandra back. Katie has a rush appointment tomorrow at Children's Hospital to have a CT scan. The immediate concern is that Katie may have a fluid build-up in her brain. This of course would not be good, to say the least. It is a possibility due to "foreign objects" being in her brain - post surgery.
After the CT scan, depending on what that shows, they want to schedule her for another 23 hour video EEG. This could very well take place this weekend. As I stated in the last post, the eye movement is an almost sure sign of seizure activity, but the possibility of fluid in the brain is scary and potentially very dangerous. We were told to keep a close watch on her tonight and that if there is any more eye movement like there was Sunday night, to take her to the hospital emergency immediately. Katie seems to not be aware of what her eyes are doing. All she knows is that her eyes have been bothering her. She says they have been doing "funny things" and feeling weird.
Please pray for Katie. When we tell her today about what she has to do, she is going to be very upset at first. Now that she's older and has experienced what she has in the past, she understands how it all works and knows it is very scary.
We'll update the journal as we get results and information. Thank you for praying!
