[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 172135, member: 84"] Maybe you're right then. Those complex partial seizures tend to confuse me. I never added it to Travis' dxes because he only displayed the behavior for maybe 18 months tops. Then it stopped. But very disturbing when it happened. And it sure did seem the change in my voice (because my voice does change drastically) did bring him out of it. And it did have a distinct pattern to it. I haven't seen enough of Aubrey's to yet determine a pattern to it once it starts. Just the look and thus the aggression. That and the Mommy voice brings her out of it. You know, they [B]really[/B] need to get into more [B]depth[/B] about this stuff when training nurses/ medical personel. I know 25 yrs ago in nurses training we barely touched on petite mal and grand mal seizures. I know when easy child was in the RN program I asked her how in depth they went and she said it was the same, except that the instructor when into more detail when easy child brought up that her brother had absence seizures, ect. I know they can't possibly cover everything, but there are things that should be covered in depth in my opinion and this is one of them. Talked to Nichole on the phone. She's going to ask for Aubrey to have a referal to Travis' old neuro at Children's. Maybe with the family history pediatrician doctor will be more open to the referral. (I doubt it) And if she can get Aubrey into Travis' old neuro, he already has the family history right there, all he has to do is call it up on his computer. But like you said Sara, neither of us are getting our hopes up for either the referral or exam. Odds are they'll chalk it up to terrible twos and dismiss it. [/QUOTE]
