I like to put on here whenever the girls have a seizure, and Mye's last one was May 19. This is just a copy of what I wrote on her seizure tracker on May 19. It is encouraging to me that the seizure did not happen until her temp was really high. She has not had a seizure for almost a month now. She has been doing well~ornery, but well. ;)

Possible Triggers:  Irregular sleep; Fever; Sick - complained of sore mouth
Notes: Had 100 degree temp evening before. Not eating as much.
Description: Change in awareness; Loss of urine or bowel control; Loss of ability to communicate; Automatic repeated movements; Muscle stiffness in whole body; Muscle twitch in whole body;
Notes: I heard her moaning/crying at 3:30am. Found Mye lying in fetal postition, moaning and shaking. Took her temp: 103.5, rectally. Attempted to bring temp down by removing PJs and applying cool cloth to head. She then went into a grand mal type seizure. I grabbed the diastat and injected syringes at 3:33am. Half way through the second syringe she came out of the seizure. I gave her the whole dose anyway(5mg total).
Post Event: Unable to communicate; Muscle weakness; Sleepy; Severe startle reflex
Notes: Lying very still. Breath faint. Slight blood in drool. Possibly bit tongue. Continued with cooling measures. Had a severe startle reflex in which she grabbed at anything and everything with a vise like grip every time she was moved. She would also jerk her whole body whenever moved or touched. Awake enough by 3:50 to take some Ibu, By 7am Temp 98.9, rectally. Took her into urgent care around 10:30 after she was rested up. Ear Infection. Put on zithromax
