Becca Update

So if some of you do not know Becca had a grand mal in March. The seizure lasted about 3 minutes. It was about 1:30am, and I was just getting in bed to sleep when I heard then saw something was wrong. I yelled at Dedrick to call an 911. By the time the EMTs got to the house the seizure was over. We still went to the ER and then stayed for a few hours observation. Becca does not remember what happened except she woke up in the hospital.

She never had a seizure before, so they sent us home and see her doctor in a few day. The doctor wanted us to get a EEG first to see if anything would happen and see if we needed to see a neurologist. Poor Becca was only allowed to get about 5 hours of sleep for the test. She fought it at first then went to sleep. The EEG came back abnormal, so we went to see the neurologist. Since this was her first seizure and the EEG was abnormal he wanted an MRI of her brain before we talked about medication. I asked him if the EEG results being abnormal could be that way because of her Autism. He that that is was a good question and of course didn't have any answer.

So of course we were in the middle of moving when I get a call to set up her MRI. It happened to be two weeks after we moved to Kansas. So Becca and I drove back to Tulsa on June 16th for a pre-op appointment and the MRI on the 17th. Our friends the Queens let Becca and I crash at there house for the night. Becca had fun with her friend, we ended up have a girls night. We had to be at the hospital at 5:45am, so they could give her the sleepy medication. The MRI took about an hour and then an hour wake up time. Then we drove back to Kansas.

First thing Monday morning, I get a call telling me the MRI is NORMAL!!! So we just have to watch her for the rest of the year. If nothing happens, then the seizure was a one time thing. If she has a seizure then we have to put her on medication. So that is the update!
