Memories pulled from the cracks of our summer…
Nathan is home
We are now home with Nathan. They released him from Primary about and hour ago. He has been seizure free for just over two days now. We don’t know why his seizures seem to have slowed but this is very good of course! One day at a time….

Nathan remained totally seizure free for 5 days and then had the bad luck of catching a stomach virus (from me…) which triggered a day of seizures. He has recovered from that and is now returning to a pattern of quiet activity. No seizures today….:)

About 12 days ago I noticed that Nathan had a few pimples under his left eye and a patchy red area on the nape of his neck. He sometimes reached back and itched the nape area. Well, about 9 days ago I began to notice the “pimples” spreading onto his arms and legs. That morning Nathan’s neurologist, Dr. Morita, called to see how Nathan was doing and I mentioned the rash. She found that “interesting” and said to watch it that day, give him Benedryl that evening if is wasn’t gone and to call our pediatrician if it was worse the next day. Wednesday, the next morning it WAS much worse. Nathan also hadn’t eaten dinner the night before or breakfast that morning, very unlike Nathan. We called and made an appointment with Dr. Sandvig (Dr. Owens was out of town) for 10:30 am. Dr. Sandvig just happened to be the first Dr. we spoke with from California when Nathan had his first few seizures. She was to be very interested to hear how Nathan was doing.
