Visited him briefly tonight with the VogonMom and VogonDad, who tagged off with Laurel and we were able to take him down to see Laurel. She had been very anxious since she saw him seizing and last saw him around 3 AM.
The EEG will be on Monday and he will stay in the hospital for observation and continued IV fluids and potassium. His bed is hooked up to a sensor that trips an alert at the nurses' station if he moves more than simply shifting around in case he has another seizure. He was resting quietly watching TV when I arrived; in addition to clean pajama pants, toiletries and a change of clothes, I brought his MP3 player and charger and (once his doctor says it's okay for him to use it) my laptop with a Wi-Fi card and a trackball.
Pending Monday's test results and no further seizures, he may be home Monday or Tuesday.

please keep me posted about the results.
his he having a sleep deprivation EEG or a routine EEG? They should do hyperventilation and then the photic light stimulation. will you be there for the test.
I do not yet know what kind of EEG he will be having, but if the light stimulation set off his Friday seizure (he now thinks that flashing on the TV may have caused it) we'll certainly know from that.
Take good care of YOU and the little one while there are others caring for vogon.
