Day 3

We just woke up on Saturday morning and Niklas had some water (2 cups) and some chocolate pudding. The first thing he has eaten since Tuesday. Last night was pretty good except for about an hour and a half in which he wanted daddy to pick him up and take him home. How do you explain what has happened and he can't get out of bed?
Friday was eventful. The neurologist came in and did a "mapping" of Nik's brain. It took about 3.5 hrs with good results. Nik has 96 sensors within the plate they placed on his brain. The doctor isolated and stimulated certain sensors to try and determine the function of specific parts of his brain. This mapping is done so they can plan out the second surgery when they plan on removing the lesion causing all of this. They know where the lesion is on the brain but were not sure as to the specific function that part of the brain has. After the mapping it was determined that the focal point of his seizures controls his left eye. There was concern that it was controlling his left hand. This is good news because on Wednesday they are going to remove the lesion. If it controlled his left hand and it was removed it would paralyze his hand for good.
We are very encouraged by this outcome.
Thank you all for your prayers and help. More later...
