A bump in the road….
With all this good news we are sad to say Travis experienced another seizure last night 
He is tapering off of the Decadron (steroids) and last night was the first night he did not take a p.m. dose...and his body and brain did not like that very much!
We are advised to try again a little slower now and also up his Keppra (anti-seizure medication) to try to prevent this from happening again. This is just a MINOR set back but Travis (understandably) is devastated (not only about the seizure but the not driving for 3 months
I did call 911 (and it took like 6-7 rings for them to answer WTF) again but did not let them take him to the hospital as I figured (beings how I am so medically minded) that is was the steroid taper that caused it and he would be fine 
The boys were sound asleep in bed and did not see or hear anything
Thanks again for all of your support! We will try this taper thing again with better results to be reported
Have a great weekend!!!

I don’t know Matt, but it sounds like he knows what he’s talking about. And I’m sure Karla looks hot in the hat.
