[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 214595, member: 84"] Susie sweetie, get that child to the ER asap. I don't say it lightly. Something is terribly wrong when her muscles all over are visibly spasming. This is what I would do : Take her to the ER immediately. Give them the full history, and I mean everything and every medication within the last month or two. Don't let them send you anywhere until they've done a FULL blood work up, most especially for electrolites and mineral deficiencies. Do [B]not [/B]let them slack off on the mineral deficiency one, as while it sounds minor it can cause lethal reactions in the body. Ask them to check her creatinine levels and calcium levels while they're at it. Do [B]not[/B] leave until both the family/pediatrician doctor and neuro have been notified of her condition. They can think of way more tests than I can after having my nose in a book while watching a 2 year old. Susie, I'm not trying to scare you to death. But spasms like that are no minor matter. Jess needs checked [B]now[/B]. Not when it's convient for the docs. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
