Sarah, that was the first thing we thought and Jim's doctor said the same thing. But these doctors don't think so and think it's related to the seizures. The neuro finally came in and thinks she is still having seizures and is going to run an eeg to find out. He seems to think they may have been going on all along unnoticed. He said the speech problem is a common symptom after a seizure so he wants to see if she starts to improve. He is not ruling anything out and said he needs to take one step at a time. I am not a good at waiting.

Jim's doctor did say if she had a small lacral (sp?) stroke there isn't anything that can be done to fix it and would explain her speech and cognitive problem. He did mention a brain biopsy but said at her age is that even worth the outcome since that could cause more problems? He said the best we can do is pray and hope the docs down there get it all figured out.

Now we need to decide if we should take a ride down there. I think I will wait and see how she is in the morning and after all the testing has been done.
