PREP Talk

The Pediatric Regional Epilepsy Program (PREP) team (neurologists, neursurgeon, neuropsychologists, nurses, etc.) met today to discuss Lauren's case. As expected, the plan is to wait for seizures. As long as there is no bleeding, excessive pain, or infection, which would force them to remove the grids, they will wait.

Meanwhile, the Occupational Therapy and Child Life therapists are in on a regular basis to stimulate her with games and exercise. She sat up for 10 minutes, stood for 10 minutes and sat up for another 10 minutes. She has a basketball hoop in the room for free throws, and had a rousing game of UNO with one of the Occupational Therapists. Now they are playing charades.
