Kaitlyn hasn't had a hypoxic episode (where her oxygen levels drop) since yesterday in the ER. They have had her on Keppra, an anti-seizure medication, that seems to be working. That or she just hasn't had another episode. The doctors are pretty certain that she is having seizures, which at this point is what we are hoping for rather than her brain having difficulty telling her body to breathe.

| Yesterday with Daddy in the ER |
She will have an EEG done for 24 hrs to monitor her brain waves to confirm whether or not she is having seizures. It hasn't been started yet. We just moved from the PICU to a normal hospital room and are now waiting for the EEG to begin. They also took her off of the oxygen. She still has the nasal cannula in, just in case she dips again so we can crank the O2 up if she needs it.

Kaitlyn is her normal self other than when she has the episodes. We will trying to keep her happy and comfortable. We will be here at the hospital for at least another 24 hrs. Thanks for the many prayers!
