 MY FIRST VISIT!
I AM THE GRANDMOTHER OF AN 8 YR. OLD THAT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED THIS PAST WEEK WITH E. HE HAS BEEN ON MEDICATION FOR ADHD FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS WITH FOCUSING. SINCE PEDDY WAS A BABY HE ALWAYS QUIVERED HIS LIPS WHEN HE WAS UPSET, ANGRY OR DISCIPLINED. IT WAS GETTING WORSE WITH TIME, HE WAS NOT RESTING WELL AT NIGHT AND SEVERAL MORNINGS WOKE UP WITH HIS PJS SOILED.
MY DAUGTHER HAS BEEN CALLED TO SCHOOL SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST PAST MONTHS AFTER THE TEACHER COMPLAINED THAT PEDDY WAS OUT OF CONTROL. HE WAS NON RESPONSIVE TO ANY QUESTIONS, EVEN WHEN THEY ASKED HIM HIS LAST NAME HE DN'T KNOW. HE BEGAN TO LOOSE CONTROL OF HIS BODILY FUNCTIONS. THE TEACHER THOUGHT IT WAS THE CONCERTA (ADHD) MEDS THAT WAS CAUSING THIS. LAST WEEK WHEN SHE WAS CALLED TO PICK HIM UP SHE TOOK HIM DIRECTLY TO THEIR FAMILY DOCTOR. THE DOCTOR TOLD HER THAT HIS SYMTOMS WERE THOSE OF PETI MAL SEIZURES. AN EEG WAS ORDERED AND THURSDAY OF LAST WEEK PEEDY WAS DIANOGSED WITH EPILESY.MEDS PRESCRISPED WERE DILANTAN AND PHENABARBITOL UNTIL HE SEES THE PEDIATRIC NEUR.
TUESDAY OCT. 21.
NO FAMILY HISTORY OF SEIZURES IN OUR FAMILY, HE HAS NEVER HAD ANY TYPE OF HEAD TRAUMA. THE ONLY TIME HE WAS HOSPITALIZED WITH SOMETHING SERIOUS WAS WHEN HE HAD FOOD POISIONING (SAMELLA) HE WAS 2 YRS. AT THE TIME AND WAS VERY ILL. CAN THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH E????
WE NEED AS MUCH HELP WITH UNDERSTANDING E AS POSSIBLE.
PLEASE REPLY!!
I WILL BE BACK!!!
