Devin.

Well, Devin's dr. called today. His MRI was ok except that it showed several area's of underdeveloped brain tissue. Which may explain why he didn't speak til he was 3 and even now seems alot "younger" than Hadley did at this age. He will eventually catch up to normal.
The EEG showed that he is indeed having seizures.(which could cause the underdeveloped brain tissue) They think it may be something he has always had they were just so little we didn't even notice them and that the anaphylaxis back in september was so traumatizing on his little body that it triggered a bigger problem. We discussed it and agreed that we aren't comfortable putting him on seizure meds at this point. He isn't having them often enough or severe enough for us to feel comfortable putting that medicine in his little body. At this point we just kinda sit back and wait til he has another one and go from there.
At least we got some answers. And we know it isn't something really bad or life threatening...I had images of brain tumors and all kinds of stuff floating around in my head the last few weeks.
