The End of the Good Streak

Caitlin had a massive seizure this morning that needed Diastat (rectal valium) in order to stop it. For almost ten minutes, Caitlin's brain betrayed her and caused a rhythmic spasm on her left side that only powerful drugs could stop.

This is her first seizure since last May and the first one needing Diastat in about two years.

Hopefully, this is an isolated seizure and not the start of a new pattern.

She's been asleep in her room for the last five hours or so. The seizure wiped my poor angel out.

Seizures still suck. You never get used to them happening to your child.
