My dad is still having seizures, therefore it was not the antibiotic. This afternoon another EEG was ran on his brain and during the test he started having a seizure; usually the doctors are supposed to be able to tell something about the brain if this occurs, but no of course not, they said nothing showed up on the EEG that could have indicated what was happening with his brain. The neurologist said he's not seen anything like this before. This isn't a bad thing, just unusual.
For now the neurologist is going to change the seizure medication and wean him off of it every three days for several reasons. 1) He wants to see if he needs it for short term or long term 2) to find out what works best 3) to make sure he gets it right while he is still in the hospital and to prevent him from having a bad one while at home.
This waiting around is driving all of us nuts. BUT I believe he just needs adequate rest, the doctors need to get this medication thing figured out, and that time will continue to show wonderful signs of recovery.
I came across these verses today and it's just what I needed.
"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength." Isaiah 4:28-31
"I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory." Ephesians 3:13
Thank you for praying for Robert and helping us through this crazy time.

33 Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways! 34 For who can know the Lord’s thoughts?Who knows enough to give him advice? 35 And who has given him so much that he needs to pay it back? 36 For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen. - Romans 11:33-36
