Willem -- only days before he was stricken with HLH -- leisurely walking, straw in mouth, not a care in the world. A healthy 9 year old boy.

Neurology

Neurologist just said that they will keep him on anti-seizure meds (Keppra) until infection and swelling goes away which will be around four to six weeks "...at the very least."  Neurologist stating that the brain wave activitity is indicative of infection and swelling in the areas showing on MRI.  Scar tissue around the abscesses indicate that the infection has been going on for weeks. Neurologist surprised that Willem had not displayed any signs of issues, such as vision, over the past few weeks.
