Mike really likes his neurologist. He came in today and said EEG showed his seizures are not epileptic seizures (we knew that) and that they are caused by something else. He wants to investigate different headache disorders. Since all his episodes of either passing out or seizures are always related to intense headaches he thinks it should be looked at and he wants to run more tests. Not sure what those tests would be. He said he has patients who have debilitating headaches that cause seizures and with the right medication they feel like a new person. One of the things that was mentioned at one time was the possibility of him having something called Melas which is a terrible and fatal disorder. We are very relieved he doesn't have it! His doc told him his brain looks too good for that! Phew! That was a scary one!
This doc seems really committed to figuring it all out and we are so thankful for his attitude. Hoping they won't send him home unless they can help. He asked Mike how he was doing with the stress of all this, Mike told him he believes in the power of prayer and that he was being prayed for by many, many people. He also told him that his friends who were so diligently praying for him were also praying for his doctors. So keep praying for the medical team and especially for Dr. H!
