Jaydee's visit with the neurologist

Jaydee has had 4 seizures the last year. Two have definitely been related to fevers or febrile seizures. We met with a neurologist at Phoenix Children's Hospital yesterday. He was very good and spent 40 minutes with us. He ordered an EEG which came back normal. We will be doing an MRI in a few weeks, just to make sure that the only reason for the seizures is hereditary. The gene that causes febrile seizures also can cause seizures without fevers. He also gave us a prescription for a drug that can stop a seizure if it lasts over 3 minutes. I am very glad that that so far it is normal. We will post the results of the MRI. I wish I had a picture of the EEG, they wrapped gauze around her head to keep the 25 wires in place, she did look cute. Almost like she had a turban on.

One other funny story from our weekend in the valley: Jaydee went skinny dipping. :) We went and put our feet in the swimming pool and she got out and stripped off so she could get all the way in. It was cold but we went and changed to go swimming. She also LOVES Fuddrucker's shakes.
