He has been given another dose of the anti-seizure drug to get him back up in the 40s. It did the trick and he is back to sleeping peacefully with no signs of seizures. It was awful seeing those seizures. The irony of it is that he opens his eyes when he is having the big ones.
This is obviously a setback and not what we wanted to see, but, as the doctor reminded me, we are still very early in the process. But it was just so much easier to say "we will let Finley show us what is going on" when we thought that he might show us that he didn't need any drugs at all and that he is done having seizures. It is clear that the root cause of the seizures has not gone anywhere, so this is a reminder that finding that cause is the absolute key. It will be good to have his doctor (Rachel Troy) and the head neonatologist (Marty McAffery) back in the morning to talk this over.
Thank you for your continuing support. I'm sure many of you, like I did, allowed yourselves to start thinking we might sweep the series. Please don't let this dampen your resolve or your hope. He is a fighter and will come back strong.
Love,
Finley, Robyn and Kevin

We prayed hard-core for you guys last night at practice. We will continue.
Lovin' the snot out of you...
The Dvoraks in Hamilton, Ontario are praying for you all as are many from the Grimsby church family. Tell Gramma Hannah she looks great holding little Finley. We'll be praying they get to the cause of this matter soon and that you'll feel God's unexplainable peace and presence.

George and Pat Mansfield .... We have been keeping the three of you in our prayers. Please know that God is in charge and he is watching over little Finley. He is very beautiful and we know that all will be right in God's world soon. Much love and prayers, G & P
