Update: 6 Month Old With Seizures Posted: 06-15-05 10:07am
Yesterday was izabella's one month
check-up with the neurologist.
She is still experiencing small seizures
while on trileptal. The neurologist has
increased her dose to 2.2ml. If they
still continue, then we will need to
increase the dose to 2.4ml. If she still
continues to have them while on trileptal,
then we will need to change her
medication.
We also received a prescription for a 24
hour eeg. Can anyone tell me about this?
Concerned mother!

I hope that increasing the meds will help
izabella.....A 24 hour eeg can be in
patient as a video eeg or an outpatient
ambulatory eeg> either case they glue
on the electrodes with a stronger glue and
usually wrap the child's head with qauze
to keep them on well. There is a pack to
carry or wear with equipment to record
what is going on in the brain for that
day.
Often there is a log to write down what
she does, like when she eats, takes meds
or sleeps. There is also a push button to
push if you see a seizure. Helps them
find it on the tracing.
