Caleb met with the neurologist on Monday and had his EEG. The Neurologist gave us a lot of numbers and recommended that Caleb stay on the anti seizure medicine for at least a year. If Caleb can go a year without having a seizure he will have a 95% chance that he will never have a seizure again. So although he hates the medicine very much and throws it up a lot, we are going to stick with it in hopes that it works.
The EEG is pretty interesting they hook him up to all these tiny wires and then want them to fall asleep for 40 min so they can check the brain activity. They also do light tests where they put a strobe light up to their face and see how the brain reacts to the light.

Poor little guy!!! What a crappy way to spend the past couple of weeks. It is so hard to see little kids sick. We are thinking of you and hope all goes well.
Poor thing! I hope everything picks up for him and especially that the anti-seisure medicine works so he doensn't have to deal with it the rest of his life. He's such a sweet little boy. What a trooper!
Poor baby. I hope the medicine works and he doesn't have another seizure again. He looks so cute laying there sleeping. What an angel.
