The Test Results

Sorry I didn't post yesterday...I got a call from the Dr yesterday morning about Bella's EEG results and they did see "mis-fires" which means she does have the "tendency" to have seizures. They noticed it a lot while she was sleeping, so we are not sure if she's had them before, in her sleep, or if that was actually the first one, so....what does this mean? Not much really, just that now we know, and if she has another one they will put her on medication, if not, then I guess we are just lucky. They will test her again in a couple of years and if that tendency is gone, then that means she grew out of it. So, now we just wait and watch. Her greatest chance of having another one will be in the next 6 months...so no baths, swimming, anything that could cause her danger if she has one and then if she doesn't have another one, she can resume her normal activity. Pretty crazy stuff...I guess several people on my mom's mother's side (the Grimshaws) have had them or have epilepsy...so genetics prevail again! Thanks again for thinking of us...we love you all!

It so great to know finally what's going on. She sure is a little trooper and I love that sweet little smile through it all! Love you Bella Boo!
