97 Attaboys and 1 Awshit

Well, the signs had been there for the last week or so. Stacy had been jerking lately, not going to sleep on time, eating a little bit of sugar daily and on her monthly cycle.

Last night our 3 year old woke us asking for a glass of water at 4am after (us) going to bed at 11pm. Five hours of continuous sleep is not enough for Stacy. She fell back asleep and woke about 7:30am. Just before 8am, she was coming down the stairs from visiting the boys and had a TC seizure. She fell to the tile floor and I don’t know how high up she was on the stairs as I didn’t witness it happening.

In any event, she isn’t bleeding and nothing is broken. She actually had a fairly fast recovery from the seizure and is no worse for wear other than the normal headache, bitten cheek and superficial bruises.

Luckily, this looks to be a one off seizure and not a cluster. She did take an extra dose of Dilantin last night which I think helped, but she took her meds late (several hours past the normal time).

She was one day short of 3 months since her last TC.
