I guess it was "grand maul" sized, but thats not quite for sure, she was unresponsive, and mom called 911. Shes awake now I guess but of course theyll keep her over night for monitoring. She just got diagnosed with epilepsy the day after she had her daughter (not baby related, but something triggered the epilepsy) So I have a full house tonight! I have my two, (4 and 3) and Logan (who is a few months older than Morgan) whos 3, and Sophia the 6 week old I called up hubby and said "christa's sick and we have extra babies!" "uhoh, Ill rearrange my schedule" LOL guess its a slumber party at our house, whos in?! good thing I have baby gear for Isabelle.....

So basically keep her in your T&P's would ya? their still in the experimental stage, trying to figure out what works and what doesnt - and this was her first BIG seizure

Praying for your sister and for the doctors to get something figured out to help control the seizures.

That's gotta be scary for her, especially being diagnosed as an adult. I hope she is doing well!

I hope they are able to figure out how to control the seizures!
Okay now your FB status makes a lot more sense, I was like um, I thought Morgan was probalby old enough to not need night feedings.

My younger sister has a seizure disorder too. She never had a seizure until she was 18 years old. She has had a few big ones that knock her unconscious. It's pretty scary, because even though a seizure itself isn't life threatening, it could happen when she's driving. She's been on Keppra and a ton of folic acid and hasn't had one for over 18 months now. I hope they can find a treatment for your sister as well.
