Not much to update, but Dad did start having seizures yesterday. They took him down for his spinal tap around 2:30 pm and while he was having that done, he had a seizure. His floor nurse happened to be with him, however he was not hooked up to the EEG at the time so unfortunately that seizure was not recorded. He had another seizure around 6:30 pm right before Mom and I were leaving and he was on the EEG that time. The only noticeable symptom is his eyelids fluttering, however his eyes are mostly closed during it. A few minutes after his seizure ended, I asked him if he was okay and he said he was and that he felt fine.
Even with the 24 hour EEG and his seizure, they were able to finish the spinal tap. It's going to be several days before we get the results, which means he will be in isolation for several more days.
Dad's currently on antibiotics, anti seizure medications, and fluids. He's not really eating or drinking now and they've switched all his other medications to IV instead of pills because he wasn't able to swallow water.
Mom and I are figuring that this is going to be a pretty lengthy hospital stay and I'm figuring there won't be much to update until Monday at the earliest. Thanks to everyone for your support. <3
