No seizures in the past 10 days, yay!
Larry's doing great!!! He's starting to get more and more motion and control in his hand. The past few days he's been able to stretch his left fingers flat :D
Larry saw Dr. Mario today - last week the dr. was sick.
Good appointment, and he didn't brush Larry's seizures off. He said they're being caused by the stroke, but he's going to refer Larry to a neuro that specializes in seizures. We should hear something in a few weeks. :)
Today is a good day.
Edited to add:
When we walked down the hall to the Dr.'s exam room, he said to Larry "Wheres' the stroke?" That made us both pretty happy. Larrys' been working very very hard!

Quick update, since it's been a while since I posted.
We got a new a/c unit in our apartment :D YAY for cool air! Especially since the humidity has been pretty high.
Larry's had a lot more movement in his hand, and more control too.
A couple of days ago, Larry had a twitchy hand. Since it stopped at the hand, and Larry wasn't exhausted, we went with muscle spasms, which can happen.
Larry had a GREAT OT session today. :) His fingers are starting to obey when he thinks "straighten".
The not to great part - Larry went for a walk. While I was waiting for him to get home, I got a call - from the Winnipeg Paramedics! I guess Larry was picking up a couple of things, and had a seizure in the store. Which is better than being out in the street, thank goodness!
He's okay, just bruised and sore. I guess someone got him onto the ground so he didn't fall. I wasn't there, just got the details from the paramedic.
4 hours later, we STILL don't know why he keeps having seizures...well, we do.. but not why the meds aren't controlling them.
We see Dr. Mario on Monday, and hopefully he can help us.
