I was very impressed today with the doctor..not so much the nurse. (male nurse) Takes difficult child back to weigh him and measure him(as they always do) but he makes the comment, "Lets see how short and fat you are today". Now difficult child is not fat, but is small. He is very sensitive about his weight and height. As you all know he thinks he is fat. I was not happy with that comment because difficult child could of really been upset. But, he wasnt. He grew :smile:
Last July we went in for our three month visit and he only grew like .5 inches in a year. Maybe it was .75, but not much and difficult child was upset.
He grew 1/2 inch in three weeks! difficult child was happy.
Neurologist thinks he had a seizure. He said that it could be a one time thing, it could happen more often. So, he scheduled an EEG. A 48 hour EEG. They put the wires on his head, he wears a backpack thing and keeps them on for 48 hours. They told me this way they capture much more information than one hour in the hospital.
He increased his Topomax for headache control. Also scheduled him to see a Pediatric Cardiologist. For what ever reason, he lost consciousness. If the brain had a little hiccup, the heart must be checked. I am waiting for a call to set that up.
They came in and gave me pamphlets and explained all different type of seizures. Instructed me on how to handle it. He did not shake or anything. Told me that he should not be left alone atleast until they get the test results. That is not possible. He will be alone for 1.5 hours on Thursday and Friday mornings. I work to far away to leave 6 hours early and then drive back. husband is working at a place that has been laying off, and he really shouldn't miss work. To old to be layed off. I will check with the neighbor. He can go over their when husband leaves. I will discuss this with husband and difficult child later today.
I did get chewed out for sending him to school. He was real spacey, tired yesterday and was told I needed to have him rest.
Could also just be fainting, but they said they do not want to over look anything. He is really going through some changes right now and just has been acting off.
Baseball playoffs going on right now. I am worried about that. He doesn't want to miss a game. Tonight, tomorrow if they win tonight.
I spoke to school about what the dr. said just incase something happens.
Thanks for listening.
