Ewan, Heather and I came to the epilepsy monitoring unit at Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore on Monday. They hooked him up to the eeg machine to watch the seizures. The seizures weren't showing up well, so they reduced one of the medicines and this resulted in clearer seizures. The plan is to add another medication and for us to come up here again in January for a week to start the ketogenic diet. Ewan was very well behaved and tolerated the electrodes.
James and I went to Yorktown and Jamestown. At Yorktown James got to take the gunpowder to the cannon before they fired it. When they fired it was VERY loud!
Then we ran across the battlefields at Yorktown. There are many cannon and trenches there.
Finally we went to the Jamestown settlement. We went on 2 ships replicas of those in which the original settlers crossed the ocean.
Yesterday we went to the pet store and bought a new Guinea pig. James named him Flash. He is a baby. We had to introduce him to Nibbles. Nibbles made a lot of squeaks, growls, and barks, but after an hour or so they were both snuggled up together in their pig house. Ewan was pretending to be the new pig. He lay on the floor and squealed, "Look at me I'm black Nibbles!"
We ate tomato soup shirtless for lunch today. It was good. It went in Ewans ears.
