EEG

Joey had an EEG on Wednesday. The reason we did this is because he had an episode a few months back that I think may have been a partial seizure. He had been acting himself at all that day, only had like one bottle, and slept pretty much the rest of the day. That night I woke him up to get him to eat. He drank about half, and then didn't want anymore, so I didn't push it. About 15-20 minutes later, he threw up. Right after that, he went completely out of it. For about 10-25 seconds he wouldn't respond to me at all. I shook him gently, snapped my fingers, clapped my hands, all while calling his name, and he didn't look at me at all. Once he came out of it, he wasn't fussy or anything, he just fell asleep. And slept all night without waking once. So that makes me think it was a seizure of some sort. We go back to the Neurologist this coming Wednesday to get the results, so I'll update then. If any other Hydro moms are reading this, I'd love to hear your opinion on whether or not you think this was a seizure!

I have a wonderful letter written by my blogging friend Jill. She wrote a letter meant for moms who have gotten the same diagnosis as us with Hydro babies, its an amazing letter of comfort. I just wanted to share it with you here.
