Alyssa had a grand mal seizure this morning. It was the second one in five days, and seemingly without explanation (the first we attributed to Lexapro withdrawal, so she went back in 6 the dust she had stopped), so I rushed her straight to the hospital. (You should have seen my driving - some serious GTA moves to get through the crowded city streets ASAFP). Anyway, no answers, no reassurances other than it's nothing emergent or that they can visualize from the imaging and blood work that they did. But we do have referrals for a neurologist, so that's who I'll be calling first thing Monday morning. It is terrifying to see your child suffering, especially when you initially don't know what's wrong (as was the case with the first seizure). I'm very worried for Alyssa, and it's all I can do to not install a camera in her room so I can watch her 24/7 - but I'll make do with hourly checks managed by all of us, and investigating every thump or bump we hear (her bedroom is directly above hours, and I spend most of my day in our bedroom since my computer is in here). Thoughts, prayers, good wishes, good karma, whatever you've got, please send it @stxrcane's way. #stxrcane #seizures #grandmalseizures (at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmP_4QVMv1L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
