[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 282614, member: 1233"] Welcome!!! I am sorry that this is happening to your family. It is always so hard to deal with. I have been there done that with an older son who abused a younger daughter. I know how much it hurts when you realize that you can't keep your kids safe. It really is helpful to have therapy for YOU and for your marriage and for the entire family as a group. It helps to let kids know you will do anything needed to keep them ALL safe. I am glad daughter has you to help her. And that your husband is on the same page as you about this. I read you are having an EEG done. Is it to be a sleep deprived EEG? If at ALL possible see if they will do it that way. You are far more likely to find problems in a sleep deprived EEG. Not create problems, but actually see seizure activity. Have you researched anything on Absence Seizures? I had never heard of them until we had my older kids go through the sleep deprived EEG. daughter wasi n 4th grade. I had her tested as a part of being thorough before we trialed ADHD medications. She sure seemed to fit the ADHD-Inattentive diagnosis. But I got a call to come in to the neurologist (using a pediatric neurologist makes a HUGE difference) to talk about the results. Of course that call is an instant "OMG!!! What is Wrong???!!!??!" moment. We were told that she clearly showed Absence Seizures. It is when the brain just stops working for a few sentences. The child is quite literally "not there" when the seizures occurred. My Jess had more than 1 seizure every minute!! So she was having trouble in school and at home especially with following directions. She is a very good natured child, and very clearly not ODD. She made mistakes because she didn't hear or absorb the instructions or problem or challenge. It took us quite a while to get the medications adjusted. But they make a huge difference. Anyway, welcome and I hope the tests come back with no problems. Or with easily treated ones. [/QUOTE]
