Some days are bad and some days are good. Today was one of the bad days. Lauren was still not herself today and was having lots of little jerk type seizures. She also had another grand mal seizure about 10pm last night ( Tuesday). It lasted under a minute but still is traumatizing. With the grand mal seizure and how Lauren was today, Tami gave her diastat (valium) to stop the seizures. After this medicine she slept and then was much more herself. The diastat seems to break the cycle when it gets bad like this. Lauren is doing very well eating her meals and snacks. We are gradually getting her to take her vitamin and calcium supplements. This has been one positive thing over the last few days. Tami talked to the doctor at Johns Hopkins today and he would like to see how Lauren does the next few days. He might then add back an anti seizure medication to help. This whole process just takes a lot of patience. Thanks again for all your support.

Thanks again for posting. Checking your blog has become a routine part of my day now. Tell Lauren that her California cousins said hello and that Scott has to take his vitamins everyday too!
