Overnight at the Hospital-6/17

Children's in Denver was great. The night was quiet. I (mike) spent the night at the hospital with my little man. Jenee stayed home with Briana and our newborn-Landen.

Michael had an EEG in the am & the neuro team arrived around 2pm. It was a team of roughly 5 Dr's. I remember them checking Michael out and then asking him to walk and then run down the hall. His balance and coordination were completely off, he was not himself.

Michael was stable enough to be checked out around 4pm on 6/18. Upon checkout, the neuro team pulled me aside and told me the following:
1. We don't have any real answers...his sz's are generalized so they can not be pin-pointed
2. He has about a 25% chance of having another sz
3. If he does-you need to be able to deal with it-so you don't have to come here everytime
4. If the sz lasts longer then 5 minutes or he isn't breathing-call 911
5. Other than that-if he has a sz-time it and try to document it-call us if you have any questions
