Doing fine!

Just a little note to say we're doing alright. It's completely different being here with a child who isn't sick. Emily feels fine, just bored. She's all hooked up, and itchy. I scratched my head as I wrote that.



She had a really hard time with the glue they used to hold the electrodes in place. She gagged and wretched the entire time they were putting them on. I felt so bad for her. When it was done, she was ready for breakfast :)

She did one of the things I thought might be seizure activity yesterday. I hit the button they gave me, and oh my!! The tv flipped off, a giant light came on, the door flew open and an alarm sounded! Scared the living kasnoodle of of Emily and me. Holy cow! We were just waiting for bars to fly down and lock us in. Seriously, that might scare seizures out of folks (maybe even me).

The good news is after we could breathe again, it actually wasn't a seizure! Praise God! Because some of her seizures are subtle, I'm not sure what is and isn't one. I didn't even think she was having them in the first place, so what do I know. Anyway, one less thing to worry about. She's also maintained her O2 sats, which I was concerned about. All in all, good news!

Check out that bed head!



I'm still hoping to go home Monday, so I hope they are able to capture what is seizures. It's hard being here, and Emily and I are talking about Abby a lot. Emily asked about her on the computer, which is a first. I think because she thinks of her being in the hospital. It's been nice to talk about her. Emily says she thinks of her everyday.



Me too :)
