CT Scan Negative / Video EEG Questionable

Well, we are happy and confused all at the same time. The CT scan came back negative for any fluid build up - no pressure in the brain. That's really good news. Sandra talked with the neurologist's assistant today. She said that if Katie does not have any headaches, dizziness, or rapid eye movement between now and Monday, we are to call and cancel the video EEG. If she has not had any of these symptoms since last Sunday and Monday, it would be a long shot for her to have them during the 23 hour video EEG - and those symptoms are what they would look for.

If there are no symptoms, then we will decide how to pursue the eye problems if they reoccur. At that point we'll probably have her eyes checked.

So, for now we'll wait and see. I think the neurologist just wanted to make sure there were no problems related to the brain surgery first, to rule that out. I think that made us a little more nervous than maybe we should have been. However, as the neurologist said, its better to know for sure, than to be in doubt.

Thank you all for your prayers.
