On New Year's Day 2011, Charles was 9 months old and the seizures reared their ugly head again. By this time, he had been on meds for 3 months, so were they doing the trick? As I recall, we spent 10 hours in the Children's Hospital Emergency Deparment (now, for the 3rd time). The neurologists requested a repeat of the EEG to see if they could capture the tremors/seizures/jerks while they were happening. All the seizures to date looked like jerks or shaking or pulsing. They would last approximately 4-5 seconds each and he could have up to 200 per day. But he would only have them for 1-2 days, then sometimes go months without having them again. Grandma Dianne took care of all of the kids back home - Charles' 3 siblings. Mom - thanks for always watching the kids, coming to the hospital to support us, accompanying me whenever Ken needed to work. And, thanks everyone else for all your support...baby blankets, blessings, meals, identifying the seizures, etc. I'm going to try to remember to mention everyone involved whenever possible.
