The Latest

I talked to the doctor tonight and this may be some good news. We do not know for sure though. She said that the neurologist briefly looked at the EEG Brain Waves when he came in here and said from what he saw quickly that it may not be seizures after all- maybe not even the one from Sunday. It may all be muscle related. I know that is not great news but I think it would be better than seizures. They said most of the time with seizures that you are not alert, awake, or able to talk. She has been all 3 today. She was asleep with them on Sunday but the reason they think it may not have been one is that the seizure medicine they gave her to stop them did not work at the first drop like it should but after they had given it to her. Since she has been awake with these today, they have been scaring her a little. Whenever she has these episodes her heart rate goes from 115 to about 138-200. However, if you hold her hand it does not seem to rise as much. She told the nurse tonight when she was having one "I'm shaking." She is asleep now and does not seem to be having them as much except for her leg. I would like to thank everyone for their prayers again especially those who do not even know her. It really means a lot to us. I also would like to thank those who have helped us or given the kids things.
