Josh will be staying in the hospital over the weekend at least.
The doctors do not know what is causing the seizures, but they do emphasize that he can not control them as of now. The hope is we can figure out what the triggers are for the seizures and then attempt to try and limit the triggering or whatever. He was told though that we may not ever truly find out the trigger and we will have to manage.
Obviously this is not the news he wanted to hear. It's tough to swallow that they may not go away. I try to tell him not to focus on that part and just take things one day at a time and work on that. They continue to monitor him down at Henry Ford and play around with things to see if they can 'see' any change.
They have ruled out epilepsy as of right now. Which is a good thing, however they are taking him off some of his meds to make sure that it doesn't change anything.
This continues to be very frustrating for him and everyone else. The last thing anyone wants is for something to be missed. I am confident that the doctors are doing everything they can down at Henry Ford to figure this out. As we have already found out though...... Josh is not an easy case!
Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers from everyone! We constantly think about you all too!!
