Gracie did have a seizure last night. I have never been so happy to see a seizure. I couldn't believe that we got a seizure when we wanted one! She was taken off her meds entirely and I kept her up until midnight reading, watching TV, and tickling. Then, I snuggled her in to bed, but she couldn't fall asleep! Oh my! She struggle to sleep for and hour and a half and then, just after she dozed off on my lap, she had a seizure. I leapt out of bed and joyously pushed the seizure button. Her whole seizure was captured on the EEG and video with full monitoring. Praise God!
The odd thing was that, despite ativan to stop her seizure, she didn't fall asleep for over 2 hours after the seizure! She laid there with her eyes wide open, looking around, occasionally yelling out... very strange. But my comfort was that she was on the monitors, so I eventually caught a few hours of sleep.
She's now in the recovery room after a sedated MRI which will give us lots of information about what caused her cerebral palsy and, of course, more info about where her seizures are coming from. All this is working towards possible surgery.
We're still in the hospital now hoping for a second seizure. We'll probably be in till sunday afternoon or monday.
