Seizures Again

Michael started to have seizures again. He finally was able to see a new neurologist who stated his seizures - all types including atonic, falling and balance issues were three problems:

first - actual seizures and she will do a specialized 8 hour sleep deprived outpatient video eeg
second - atonic seizures caused by complicated orthostatic hypotension involving numerous other medical issues and she will do a tilt table test and orthostatic vital signs
third - really tight tendons behind his knees causing his legs to cross, causing him to walk abnormally and an inability to move his hips causing progressive muscle weakness. She will have serial casting and botox injections done on both legs

We shall be very busy over the next few months. I am glad that someone will finally be addressing problems that have gone on way too long for him.

God bless you,
Jennifer
