Seizures This Morning

Makenzie had some seizures this morning which worried us. But they gave her medication to stop them and she got an MRI. There was some concern about the shunt being plugged or blood clots in the brain but everything was OK on the MRI. They figure it is just a result of the surgery, about 15-20% of kids have seizures following a brain tumor operation. So we are back in the PICU resting now. She is waking up from the medicines they gave her for the seizures. Everything else is looking good, CSF samples are showing no infection. Rehab is on hold for today while she rests up from the seizures.
