Aaron has gotten much relief from the new pain medication. Trouble is that it doesn't last the full 4 hours. He gets pretty uncomfortable. From what the doctor said today, the plan is for him to have at least 4 seizures. Once he does that, they will then do what's called cortical stimulation, where they send an electrical current into the area(s) of the brain where the seizures came from to determine if things like speech etc is affected when they "turn off" that area. If so, then they will know they can't take that part out. If not, then they will mark that as an area to consider for removal.

That's all for now. I still haven't figured out how to get a link for pictures on here but I'll work on it this weekend.
