Good news....bad News

OK, the good news first! Levi's physical health was steady last night. No early morning phone calls from the attending nurse. We got the chance to sleep completely through a night with no interruptions. Levi's urination is significantly down (although they did say it went back up to 30-40ml this morning), staying at a level that is OK. He is now off of epinephrine (1 of 2 blood pressure medicines and insulin. It seems like his body is actually pretty stable right now. On a neurological standpoint Levi is still seizing. His seizures are short in duration but are occurring more frequently. Dr. Otto says this is a bad thing, and that they will be upping pentabarbitol. Hopefully this will be the last time this type of medicine will be increased. We were hoping to start to bring him out of his coma today, but now it sounds like it will be another day or two before they start, due to the increase in seizure activity.
