No seizures but continuous electrical activity?
So we just got the read of the final EEG report and Grace is seizure free although they noted continuous electrical activity from one lobe of her brain during the EEG. So we will be doing some med adjustments to try to curb that as well. What does this actually mean? Does anyone have any ideas? Why would she have no seizures but still have the activity? We have a neuro visit on Monday but that is a long time from now with questions in my head! Any advice is appreciated!See More
