So he had another small episode this morning where he had what looked like hiccups only his eyes were deviating, so they gave him a dose of Ativan around 6am. But, as much as it sucks that he had another one, I do feel a LOT better knowing that it took three nurses and a respiratory tech to be able to be certain that it really WAS a seizure and not hiccups, since they all agreed that they looked like hiccups with one or two of the signs of a seizure. That helps relieve a tiny (tiny) bit of the Mommy Guilt I have about thinking that they were just hiccups at first :)
So they're doing a repeat EEG now, and they did an x-ray around 730 (I presume they're double checking his umbilical line and his respirator positioning, but I really have no idea to be honest).
Not sure what the next step is, but I'll definitely keep y'all in the loop as much as possible :)
