The 14th and 15th this week we have been very worried about Michael. After his huge seizure on Tuesday night, he is having a great deal of trouble with walking, balance and coordination. He has already tripped and fallen several times. He is also having trouble with drooling, swallowing and choking and gagging on food. The neurologist says this is an exacerbation of an already existing deficit, meaning his cerebral palsy, and that the post seizure effects usually resolve within 24 to 48 hours of the seizure. That would have been tonight, and that does not seem to be the case. We are still seeing smaller seizures too. Hopefully the seizure medication Michael is now on will help soon; it is not at a therapeutic level yet.
