Good recovery from the seizure

Hi,

Eric has made a good recovery from his seizure. He had an MRI last night. It went well. He slept peacefully during the night.

This morning the neurology doctors talked to us about the results. They found very, very small bleeds/clots in his brain. They believe these are from his leukemia and all the clotting issues he was having. They are certain these small bleeds are the cause of the two seizures. They have placed Eric on anti-seizure medicine, which should prevent any future seizures. They said his body will absorb the blood in the brain. So, we believe this was caused by the leukemia, and his body will fix the issue in time.

Also, Eric was removed from the vent support and is again breathing on his own with just the oxygen rich air.

Eric's had a lot of visitors today. He loved seeing and talking to everyone. It tired him out, but you could really tell the happiness in his face to see friends and family. :)

Love,
Sara
