After an uneventful yesterday, Alex has had several visits from her doctors this morning. They explained that her EEG results have been normal so far, but that was to be expected considering her seizures are so sporadic. During the most recent visit by Dr. Lee-Massey, he told us that today they would try to induce seizures with strobe lights and hyperventilation techniques. More on that when those tests take place.
About 2 hours ago, we received our first visit from Dr. John Barry. He is a world-renowned expert in the study of psychiatry/seizures/epilepsy and how they relate. He met privately with Alex for about an hour and worked with her through some hypnotherapy techniques. He was able to to bring on some seizure episodes and will come back tomorrow morning for more tests (with us present).
We will have more to report throughout the day and the balance of the week, and will keep you posted along the way.
Love,
The Browns
