Rough night but Byron is lucid and talking normally this morning. As I wrote earlier, the shunt surgery was an enormous success. Everyone is very happy about this. Although he will have to have it for the rest of his life, according to our good friend Dr. Richard Gillett, shunts have been successfully implanted since the 1950s with great outcomes.
But those darned seizures! The Neuro this morning said there has been zero control with all of the medicines they are throwing at them. One of the young men (I think he was young - I was in the dark and groggy) said that the kinds of medicines they are looking at now are "experimental" and even he didn't know their names. Big Neuro consult around ten so I'll write more then.
Bought Byron a nice bacon egg and cheese, with those awesome New York bagels. But just found out no food at all for him this AM due to the fact that he is now a choking risk :(
