So this is what's going on with Burton. His EEG showed high spiking when he was sleeping. Which means he's having what they called partial seizures. He's brain is firing at the same time all over the brain (it's going crazy) but he's not having the physical signs of a seizure just the brain activity of one. So they put him on Keppra so we'll see how that goes with side effects, etc. He has a follow up in April unless we notice the seizures then he'll go back. They couldn't tell us how long this had been going on or if it just started but they did say we probably saw the physical signs of a mini seizure because he was sick, had a fever and was over tired. So I guess this is a blessing knowing and getting him on med.'s to try to prevent more in the future.
