The hammer fell five times this morning

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

Seeing as how Stacy did not turn in for bed until well after midnight last night and has not been maintaining a good sleep schedule for at least a couple of weeks, I’m guessing that long term sleep deprivation is to blame. Stacy had five (5) tonic-clonic/grand mal seizures this morning:
5:55 am

7:20 am
7:57 [...]

Another drop attack

Saturday, May 28th, 2005

Stacy had another drop attack (atonic seizure) this morning. She spilled some utensils from the dishwasher onto the floor, but did not injure herself.

In the morning (around 10am), she picked up our youngest son and suddenly felt short of breath. She felt pressure or tightness in the chest. She also got a [...]

Stacy had her weekly neurofeedback session today. Monday she is scheduled to have a mapping done to compare to the initial one she had done before starting the LENS neurofeedback.

Drop Attack!

Friday, May 6th, 2005

Stacy did have her LENS neurofeedback session yesterday. She missed two sessions over the last couple weeks, but hopefully is back on track for a regular schedule.
Last night we had some friends over for dinner. Stacy ate some dessert afterwards.
Today, I had to take our son to get some immunization shots. [...]

No news is good news

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005

Stacy is doing fairly well these days. She has had a few infrequent jerks over the last week, but considering circumstances, that’s not bad. She missed her regularly scheduled Thursday LENS neurofeedback session, but is maintaining the rest of her regimen as prescribed.
