Maybe seizures are going to be a new part of life Again.

            Avri has been doing so good. I talked to her teacher today about maybe letting her come back to school a day early. She has a couple days worth of antibiotics left and her course is done. She has been following me around so irritated all this week. The fun is over for the both of us. She just wants to go back to school. She loves the social stuff. Tonight I had her run something  over to a neighbors house and all the sudden she is having a partial seizure. The neighbor walked her home. She had this slight body bounce going. she was rubbing her fingers on her button on her pants, she was shaking and was white as a ghost. She said her hand and throat hurt. I was able to sit her down and had her say her alphabet a few times, then try backwards. Her color slowly came back and her speech became quicker by the third time around of alphabet repeats. She came out of it.  She had weird hot flashes for about the next hour (She was rubbing her face so violently I thought she might rub it off) She was in and out walking out side to cool off then right back in because she was cold. She finally calmed down and seemed normal again.  She is a bit more shaky than usual and that is a worry!
              She came in before bed time and told me "I set my alarm for 6:30 because I am going to school tomorrow". I told her "she was not".  That did not set well with her. She asked me why and did not seem like she understood my explanation.  I am not sure what to think at this point. I guess maybe it is time to see a neurologists again. She has an appointment with neurosurgery in a couple weeks for another scan. The seizures scare me to death, so we will see what happens between now and then.

  1. Kati, I'm sorry sorry for all of your worries. Give Avri a hug from Paige and tell her she is missed at school. I hope she can go back soon, for her and your sake.

  2. Thanks Traci and I will tell her. She will be back at school when spring break is over. Avri would rather be at school than anywhere so as long as she is not contagious or in the hospital she will be there.
