Update on Bella

Well, we were hoping that Bella wouldn't have any more seizures and that we wouldnt have to worry about it anymore, but crap happens I guess! Bella had seizure #2 on Tuesday, February 3rd. It was very unexpected (of course it always is) we were headed to do some grocery shopping, just me and the kids at about 5:30 when she did it again. I was terrified, but calmly pulled over the car and monitored her. It lasted about 3 minutes, Dylan of course watched the whole thing too. It is not the funnest thing to witness for all of you out there that have seen one, but I least this time I knew what it was. She fell asleep when it was over and we went home, no grocery shopping. I called the neurologist that night and reported it to the dr on call, I was basically told that Bella's dr would call the next morning. So the night of anxiety began. We had her sleep in our room and every sound she made woke me up, so it was a very rough night. She ended up having another seizure that morning at 5:30 am. It had been a rough day and night and I was wondering what in the world was going on! The dr called that morning and immediatly called in a prescription for Epilepsy medication. So, now we are trying out the medication and hoping she can handle all of the side effects. So far so good and no seizures. I hope that she nor us has to go through that again and hopefully she will grow out of it. So, for the next couple of years she will be seen by her neurologist and monitored on her medication and then retested to see if her tendency for seizures is gone every couple of years. Pretty crazy stuff! Thanks again everyone for your concern and prayers. Bella has been so great through all of this and it's because she has a great support group!
