The news is not great, Dad has been classified as being in a coma. They took him to get a CT scan before starting a different type of medication to control the seizures. This particular medication can cause the patient to be unable to breath on his/her own and would require the use of a ventilator. The Dr.'s are gonna start with a the lowest dose possible and give more as needed. Hopefully this will give his body time to adjust and elimniate this particular complication. His nurse sounds optimistic that this medicine will help, but we won't know anything for a while.
