Seizure #5

Well, we almost made it though 2010 with out anymore big events! Torah had other plans though . . .

Yesterday around 12:30 she started out with a small seizure that I was hoping was going away after a few minutes (like she had around Thanksgiving), but at about 12:45 her left hand started to twitch and I knew then that this one was probably a little bigger then we thought! I got her to the ER around 1:00. She was a little more alert to her surroundings and almost giggled at me a few times. It was like she was trying to fight off the seizure and just show me that she was ok! The ER doctor gave her 6 different doses of anti-seizure meds which helped calm her down and eventually stop the seizures. Around 6:30 the Flight for Life team arrived to pick her up and fly her to Denver Children's Hospital which is where we are right now. When I arrived and got up to the PICU, I noticed that her eyes were still twitching and also dialated differently (telling me that she was still having a seizure), so the doctors told the neruologist and they hooked Torah up on an EEG to monitor her over the night and through out today. It looks like her seizures have stopped for now even though they are picking up some activity on the EEG. The neruologist also is putting her on a new seizure medication to help control them better. So we will be here for sure for yet anther day (I am really hoping to get out tomorrow morning).

Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts!! She is my strong little girl and just loves to keep these doctors on their toes.
