Things are going good!! Should have posted yesterday (Wednesday )

Yay for TODAY!!!!!!! Bailey had an Ictal Spect scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday.  The idea of this test is to inject isotope at the onset of a seizure. Cerebral blood flow is known to increase during seizures at the problem area. For Ictal spect to truly work the injection has to be given before the end of the seizure. It is a hardy tricky test to complete and we were not successful the first day. But luckily Miss Bailey Started having seizures again last night and with a little sleep deprivation  it only took about 30mins and we were done!! It was a huge relief to have that test done and out of the way!!!! The nerve racking part about this test is that we only had  two hours to get a seizure and we only had two days to get it. Now that they have a scan with  with the seizure they will compare it to the baseline scan we did  on Tuesday, and hopefully be able to help pin point the location. I was talking to my mom this morning after all this good news she brought up a good point, no matter what the outcome of all this is at least we know we have done all of the testing and can feel confident with what they tell us. I am not sure if another resection is in her future or not but I am so happy we came to Cleveland and that we came back to finish the last few tests. I hope hope hope we can do a safe second resection and be done with hospitals for awhile, but if that is not the case we at least don't have to keep guessing. Well this has been a good day so far and I hope the good stuff keeps coming!!!!!
                                                           



                       Waking up from the test and starting to feel better after her big lunch!!!

















Always being watched!!!

Happy Daddy is almost here!!!
