EEG Results are in!!

The results of Analeigh's EEG are in. The last EEG she had showed little to no brain activity (shortly after the initial injury on 1.21.11), but now there is "quite a bit of brain activity". She is at a great risk for seizures judging by this EEG but they only registered one 8 second "abnormality"... usually the abnormality has to last at least 10 seconds to be considered a seizure but she said if she is clinically (visually) doing something (what we've been seeing her do), then it is probably a seizure and to err on the side of caution, they're going to call it that. There is something that regulates activity in the back of her brain that didn't have a lot of activity (can't remember what she called it) but it is common in kids with brain injuries that are blind (she has cortical blindness) so we are not shocked with that result. She will be staying on her current dose of Keppra for the time being. I'm fairly pleased with the results because a) it means she is not having big, scary seizures and b) she has more brain activity than she did a year ago!!

I like to think this means she has some awareness of her surroundings though I do not know to what degree. The doctor did not say this, it's just what I hope. She did sound positive though (which is a nice change coming from a neurologist) so I'm going to consider this to be GOOD NEWS overall!
