Update from the Neurologist

So, I just realized that (although I posted about it on Facebook) I forgot to include an update from our trip to the pediatric neurologist a couple of weeks ago. After waiting for about TWO HOURS in the waiting room (sheesh...), we got to talk with the doctor. He was very nice and basically just asked up to recount to him what had happened during each seizure. He looked in her eyes and tested her reflexes a bit, but did not require us to do any other tests that day.

Her current diagnosis is "gray breath holding spells".  Basically, she holds her breath and causes herself to have a seizure. Right now, they seem to be trauma induced (both times she hit her head just before), so that is what we are on the lookout for on a daily basis. The doctor said almost all kids with breath holding spells are very dramatic and have a temper, and YES, this describes Shea very well. too!

She has had no major seizures since February 3,  but has had a couple of minor ones that we are monitoring because they haven't been related to trauma. We are praying this is something our sweet girl outgrows quickly!  Love you, Shea!
