Seizure and Sickness


The flu has come and taken over my body. Body aches, chills, sore throat, no appetite....yuck. The good news? Maybe a little weight loss due to the no eating? Hehe. Today is much better but the flu is nasty!!!!! The big news is, Cassidy had a seizure at school. I received a call from the school nurse saying that Cassidy had "fallen asleep" and was unresponsive in class. She had her in her office at that point and said she was still pretty out of it and could barely sit on her own. Once I got there, she was still pretty out of it. We took her to the ER, calling her neurologist along the way. They determined she had a prolonged absence seizure. She has these on a daily basis but they normally only last for 5-10 seconds. This one lasted for 5 minutes!!!!!!!!! The doctor wanted to raise her dose of the same med she is already on and do another EEG in about 10 days. She seems to be doing ok today, she also seemed to be doing so much better leading up to the seizure. So, we wont really know until her EEG again.
