This Week

Stuart was exhausted when he got home from camp, so we let him rest plenty. A few days after he got home, he had three siezures in one day! This is something that has not happened before - and they were different than in the past. These involved just staring and head-turning, and confusion and sleepiness afterward. They were unusually short, less than 30 seconds. The first happened at the library, where I was able to steer him to a couch. The second happened at the pediatrician's office, where he had gone to have his twisted ankle (from camp) looked at.

So now I'm more nervous than usual. Everytime he drops something, or makes a strange sound (like 11-year-old boys are wont to do), I have to check him. All of us are on a bit of high alert for him. I notice this in his older brother, too, and wonder what effect it has on him. The neurologist (Dr. T) has raised his Keppra dosage again, and wants to see him next week. I wonder what he will do, or ask us. What good will it do to see us? To order more tests?
