Caid has been having some issues lately with seizures. Below his a post from his mom on his most recent diagnosis.
“Saw neurologist today. Caid's EEG showed many spikes. Due to his stroke, he is at a bigger risk of seizure activity. He was diagnosed today with Focal Seizures and Tourettes. As he grows, his brain grows/changes ... the effects of his stroke on his brain change as well. He will be inpatient for a 24-48 hour EEG in the near future in order to establish how many of these seizures we are dealing with and what effect they are having. Although there are a few medications that can be prescribed for these seizures and to help him with the pain, discomfort, muscle spasms and inflammation that these seizures produce, we also have to keep in the forefront, his cardiac safety and the effects on his INR and blood pressure. He is an oddity for sure. Our first attempt at treatment will be CBD as it has not been known to raise the heart rate and we feel this is the least dangerous to him. We will be checking his liver enzymes and monitoring his INR closely to watch for any changes. We have some hoops ahead of us, but I'm a jumper when it comes to my Prince and have the ball rolling. I am praying that this helps him and appreciate your prayers as well. We are humbled by your support. Thank you.”
