Monday morning – 10th day here

Luke ended up having 7 seizures yesterday. Rough day for him and so disheartening for me. Was feeling like we may never leave. Then one of the heme onc doctors came down late last night and said she thought she figured out why he was having so many seizures all of a sudden. Apparently one of the IV antibiotics that he was on was interfering with one of his anti-seizure meds. So they went ahead and switched him to his oral antibiotic that he will be taking at home and redosed his anti-seizure med to try to catch up with the level it should be at in order for it to be effective. They just drew labs this morning and they will recheck the anti-seizure med level to make sure it is coming back up.
THEN…he came off of oxygen and did really well for the last half of the night. We haven’t seen the doctors this morning for rounds yet but I am really hoping for good news.

Lydia, I had no idea all this was going on. I’m glad you are posting and keeping us updated. This post seems like the most progress so far!! I’m praying that Luke continues to improve and you guys can get home. I’m sure Benson and Bear miss you both!
