As of right now, Gideon will stay on the medicine that he is on for 3 months. At that point, we will go see the neurologist for a medication check and another EEG. If everything is the same and the medication is still controlling the seizures then we will see the neurologist in 6 months after that. Slowly, the neurologists and EEGs will become farther and farther apart. They will do blood work every few months though to check his levels and his kidney functions.
As scary as the last few days have been, I am so grateful that Heavenly Father provided amazing doctors and nurses that helped our Gideon. I could see and feel Heavenly Fathers hand in everything! Gideon's blood work was able to be rushed and we given the results in only a few hours (even on a Sunday!) We were able to be admitted right away to the Pediatric unit, and they were able to do the EEG that night instead of in a few days like they had initially said. Not only was Gideon able to see the neurologist first thing Monday morning, but the doctor was able to give us the EEG results and schedule the MRI for that same day! Also, the Neurologist is one of the top ten in the country, who chose Green Bay as his home over every other state! Amazing :) Overall, our stay ended up being several days shorter than they originally told us because everything "just happened" to fall into place perfectly.
We are grateful for all of the kind thoughts and prayers for our family and Gideon. They have meant the world to us, and we know that they helped contribute to both Gideon's recovery so far and how all of his treatments were able to be rushed. Thank you!

Words cannot express how grateful we are to our Heavenly Father for the blessings that have been poured out onto your little family. I have no doubt that Heavenly Father is aware of Gideon and of Liz in their time at the hospital. And of course He is also aware of Dustin, Elijah and Emme as they had to play the waiting game.
