Day 13 in Hospital - plan for discharge by tomorrow

He looks good this morning. Tommaso had a restless sleep and was awaken this morning so they could draw some blood. We needed to check his Valproate levels. We all waited anxiously. Finally arrived - 330. Therapeutic range is 350-700. The level is climbing which explains why he looks so good this morning. Other than being tired and bothered with blood tests, he had only 2 very brief eye deviations (lasting a second each) that we could see.

Reem the fellow who I have so much in common with (she has 2 young kids and is likely around my age) has mentioned that if his level continues to rise and he looks good by tomorrow, then she'll prepare our discharge papers and we can leave after our clinic visit with Dr. Snead.
