We have had two urgent EEG's in the past 10 days. Unfortunately they are indicating that Matthew's Infantile Spasms are returning. The doctor said that most of his seizures are focal seizures. We are planning on doing a shorter regimen of the ACTH and doing a lower dose. We started the ACTH injections today. We will be doing one injection every day for two weeks. We are returning to the Dr for another EEG next Wednesday to see if his brain activity is returning to normal.
If it is not, the plan is to increase the dosage of ACTH. If we do this and it does not work, we are considering surgery for Matthew. The Dr recommends Children's Miami. We would be able to stay with my parents if we went there. Because his seizures are localized, this makes it a possible option.
