Damonito is spending a few days at Phoenix Children's Hospital having a video EEG. This is a routine test for him, they want to see what is happening in his brain since the surgery this summer. From our perspective, he's doing very well. He has come back from the surgery better than ever, so much so there is discussion about lowering his phenobarbital dose and if that goes well, they will eventually ween him off phenobarb all together. It's a goal.
I would venture to guess that most of what we are seeing on the monitor is pretty normal brain activity. The doctors can tell us more but it almost doesn't matter because we are seeing such a marked improvement since the surgery that it brings us all so much hope. It's such a relief.
