Scottish Rite....AGAIN

YEP!! That's right! We are here again...no, not with Emmy! Praise the Lord for that. This time we are here with sweet Collier. He is having seizures. Can you believe it? Both biological boys have seizures, never would have guessed that. It's crazy!!

Anyway, we noticed the first seizure about 2 weeks ago. He had right side jerking...meaning that his right arm and right leg, stiffened and then made a rhythmic jerking motion, as well as his right eye rolling back into his head. I jotted down the seizure, but tried to to make a huge deal in case it never happened again! Well, only 2 short weeks later and here we are. Saturday night I went out with the girls to Melting Pot, while we were there, Collier started having what seemed like a twitch in his right leg, that twitch soon became a jerk. He was having them for 10-25 seconds at a time, every 2-3 minutes. He would have several back to back and then have a reprieve for a couple of hours. This lasted all the way until Sunday morning. We were officially admitted Sunday afternoon after having a lumbar puncture and a cat scan. PRaise the Lord both were normal. Today he had an abnormal EEG, and tomorrow he will have an MRI as well as video EEG, to video tape him while they watch his brain activity!!

Either way, looks like Collier will be starting an anti-epileptic. NO FUN!! WE have seen the way these drugs alter personalities, and the emotional roller coaster that it puts Aidan on...however, we also know what the reality is if we don't medicate. That is scarier. So, I guess tomorrow we will begin discussing the very few medication options that we have. BUMMER!! Pray that we make the best decisions for Collier. Pray that the MRI and video EEG go well. He will be sedated for the MRI and it's always hard to see your child under any type of sedation!

Thanks for all the prayers!!
