Seizure!

I just happened to be across the street from the hospital this morning at the Dentist office for a cleaning--when the hospital called my cell to tell me that my Dad had had a seizure. They put the metal trach in this a.m. as he was on his way to rehab this afternoon and that was necessary. Obviously this is a set back and rehab has been delayed. He is on an anti seizure medication (Delantin) and sedated (w/ adavan). Preliminary EEG results look okay--we are waiting for someone to read the results. They did a chest x ray and will do a CT in a bit. They say it is not uncommon for stroke patients to have seizures. He was on Delantin before but they took him off of it. Praying this is just a small set back!

**UPDATE--as of 5:00 things look good. The EEG showed no further seizure activity, the CT showed no changes and the chest x ray was good as well. He's out of it still but very active.

***8/19/09 Update- I just called up the hospital (w/ a pit in my stomach, I haven't done that since his ICU days and it all comes flooding back to you) and he had a good, restful night. No more seizures and he's a little more awake this morning. I won't get a chance to see him until tonight so I will update then.
