Lydia had her EEG this morning at 10:00...went well. We will have to wait for Dr Hollman to interpret the results, but the guy who conducted the test this morning said that he didn't see any abnormalities.
The drug company called this morning to tell us that they wouldn't be able to ship the ACTH (the injection medication for the spasms) until Thursday, the 3rd. We also spoke with Woman's Home Health care...they will come every day for the first week to teach us how to administer the shots. They will also continue to come 3 days per week for the 2 months to take her blood pressure and draw blood once a week to check for infection. We were glad to hear that our co-pay for the multiple-thousand dollar drug will only be about $150.
Dr. Wood called this morning to tell us that Lydia's thyroid levels were normal, but a little too normal...whatever that means. He wants us to cut her dose of medication in half. I will just have to break the pill in half before crushing it to give to her each morning.
That's all for now. I'll check back when we have our results from the EEG and after our first day with home health.
