after the weird episode my 10 yo had last week. She ended up ordering an eeg, which they did today too. He has abnormal actvity, but didn't have any seizures during the 30 min eeg. She didn't see anything consistant with absence seizures. She said the constant abnormal activity could definitely be affecting his cognitive ability.
The next step is to have his lamictal levels checked, which they did, and they also did a chromosone test. I am a bit nervous about that, but I am also glad it's being done. She raised his lamictal for now and depending on what the blood works shows she might change his meds. I realy don't want to change from the lamictal but I trust this Dr. She is looking over his MRI from March 08 and might redo that depending. After all this if there is no clear answer he will need a 24 hour eeg.
So I don't feel like I learned anything new but I do fel like something is being done towards figuring out what exactly is going on.
