Day 3 EMU

Day 3: July 26^th, 2018 EMU, Barnes Hospital

Today was again uneventful. Greg did not have any seizures last night, as we expected him to have after staying up until 4am. Thankfully we were able to sleep in until about 8:30am. We finally saw the neurologist around 3pm and he decided to add a few things to help stimulate brain activity. Even if these don’t produce seizures they could stimulate brain waves that help them. Today Greg underwent a series of flashing lights, like a strobe light, directly in front of his face for 3 minutes. (I believe photosensitivity is what it’s called.) They also wanted him to ride a stationary bike for 20 minutes to “stress” him. However, the stationary bike they brought it was too short and small and Greg couldn’t get his legs going.  Apparently, they have a bigger version of the bike that we’ll try tomorrow. He is still battling the chest pain, so that was a concern that weighed into us holding off the bike for now as well. We thank you for your prayers, that the doctors are led to some answers over the next few days.
