Day 1
Were here, but its been a rough start. Our day started at 4:00 am as we had to be here from the hotel for a 5:30 am admission. That process went smoothly enough. Actually, the check in process was quite smooth compared to what were used to in Birmingham. But thats about where the good new ends..
We were first in line for the MRI this morning and they had a hard time getting a vein for his IV. It was quite the struggle!! His MRI went fine and he woke up good and then it was off to the torture chambers to get hooked up for his VEEG. I gotta tell ya, the older he gets the harder this process gets. He is so strong and he fought the entire time. I had to hold his feet and Allison had to hold his head and we had a hard time keeping him down. He is hoarse from screaming but the worst of it is over.
The good news is.. This place is wonderful so far. The staff here are outstanding and the facilities are top notch. We have yet to meet with Dr. Wheless. We are waiting on him to come up here and give us the scoop on what else we will be doing here this week. So were here, the MRI is complete, he is hooked up and so now the waiting game begins... Come on seizure monster.. show yourself..
Will update later
Thanks for your prayers
Jeff
