Things started looking up on day two. Her CT scan hadn't shown anything, chest Xray was fine, spinal tap showed no signs of infection, and her EEG was normal. The drugs in her system were starting to wear off and she more awake and alert than she had been. One last test, an MRI, was needed and we would be discharged.
By this time, Damon's mom had arrived in town, and stayed at the hospital with me while Damon went home to take care of the dogs.
Looking back, I guess I should have realized how serious the situation was when four doctors entered the room and pulled up chairs around us to talk. They explained that Tori had a very rare brain malformation call Lissencephaly and would be started on anti-seizure medications immediately. We were being discharged and would follow up with a neurologist the next day.
