The EMU





10/03/2007

The EMU or Epilepsy Monitoring Unit is a wing in Cooks Chilren's Hospital where the rooms are all wired with infrared cameras and EEG interface boxes. The rooms are incredible, and they have a parent bed, a play room for the kids (with EEG interface boxes), a Game Cube, and lots more. Jessie thought that she was on vacation...except for the fact that she had multi-colored wires glued to her head.

Jessie stayed here for a day, but she did not have another seizure, and the EEG was inconclusive. It showed slowing, but this was attributed to the Ativan.

Her dose of Keppra was increased again.

Maybe this will be the last seizure
