Liz (my daughter) had another seizure yesterday. That's three in just over a month. I know a lot of parents with children that have epilepsy would commit a crime to be able to only have three seizures a month. Truly, three seizures a month in comparison to over a hundred a day seems relatively minor. The thing is that it isn't minor to us. Up until a month ago, it had been three years since her last tonic clonic seizure. We had gained so much in that time. She learned how to read and count. Her fine and gross motor skills had improved so much that she was released from occupational therapy. She was doing awesome.
Last night while we were reading, she struggled with words that she knew. It could have been a postictal cognitive slowing, but what if it wasn't? What if it is the beginning of a loss of skills that she's gained? It's a scary time.
