It's snowing...

It's snowing outside and i am sitting here next to my asleep little angel. It sounds like a perfect winter Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately she had another seizure earlier today. We were outside and i had decided not to take her Diastat because we were only going to the store and it would be impossible to give it to her outside with all the clothing she had  and in the cold.

Well I am sure that it's one of Murphy's laws that the one time you don't take a medication is the one time you will need it.

I stopped on the corner of 93rd and Amsterdam to put her gloves on. Right there and then a bunch of stupid scared pigeons dashed over our heads. Madison gave a little shriek, and i somehow knew then that she was going to have one. She arched her back and started convulsing. I started running as fast a I could to get home and give her the Diastat. By the time we got in the elevator she was already going out of it. The whole thing lasted no more than 3-4 min, so she didn't need the Diastat. It could have been that she got scared from the pigeons or that she got frustrated  that i was putting gloves on her.   Or it could have been neither of those.

She fell asleep right away and has been drifting in and out of sleep ever since.

The poor little thing. she was doing so good. IT has been more that 12 weeks since she had one. This time was the first since we started her on Depakote. I was hoping that we would be able to have her off the medicine in another 6 months or so.

I started the process of getting her developmentally evaluated. I am waiting for them to call and schedule the appointments to have the specialist come to our house and do the evaluation. She is a bright little thing and I am afraid that the drugs and the seizures are slowing her down.
