I didn't know about the siezures with Rollins. I'm so glad that you are on top of it. Hopefully, she will out grow it. Poor little thing, she has been through so much. Also, so Brother has the job here? I'm happy for him. Keep us posted. I'm also glad Grady is doing okay too. You all hang in there and know we LOVE you guys!!<BR/>Love,<BR/>MarlaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651551539745638586.post-9928994638952839462009-01-14T20:51:00.000-08:002009-01-14T20:51:00.000-08:00Wendy, surprisingly, you are the first and only person that I have found that even knows what these are, much less, has a child that experiences them--and you are just across the street! How neat is that? Anyway, we go the 27 for an EEG, so I am anxious to find out if this is indeed Petit Mal Seizures. The more I have thought about it, I honestly believe there are a lot more children out there with it, but they go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed as ADHD. If we receive a confirmed diagnosis, I will definitely be coming to talk to you.Crystal Whitakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06760184544252384168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651551539745638586.post-2342512106756645532009-01-14T19:56:00.000-08:002009-01-14T19:56:00.000-08:00You guys are in our thought and prayers!<BR/>KatieKatiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07626378055081724450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651551539745638586.post-66462405765679386272009-01-13T11:36:00.000-08:002009-01-13T11:36:00.000-08:00Hey Crystal! I happened upon your blog while going through the FeedJit live feed on my blog! It lists blogs in Guntersville and I recognized your name! Maybe by the Grace of God too b/c your last post was about Rollins' seizures. Hamp was diagnosed with absent seizures. This is the "new" name for petit mal seizures. Last year I noticed him stopping in the middle of a sentence and staring. Or he would be reading a book out loud to me and stop mid sentence. He never remembered doing this. However, as time passed he would get very frustrated because he would 'come back' and not know what was going on b/c he had missed several seconds. I taught a student once that did this. In years before, teachers thought she was being defiant or was daydreaming or had ADD. I was the Student Support Coordinator and knew that she did not exhibit behaviors classic to those disorders. We sought out medical attention for her. Found out it was petit mal (now called asbent) seizures. When Hamp started doing the same things, I took him directly to the doctor. His doctor referred us to a pediatric neurologist. They ran tests. During the 20 minutes test, Hamp had EIGHT seizures. One test was sleep induced. He had FIVE in his sleep. I broke down. He and I have been through so much with losing Kass and I just couldn't face anything being wrong with my Hamp! He is now on medication. The side effects were not fun, but have seemed to be fading away. They gave me the statistics for children growing out of this type of epilepsy. It's very high starting at puberty. We pray that he will grow out of this. My biggest fear is that he has one in the shower or while he is driving once he is older! If you have epilepsy, the doctor assured me that this is the best kind. I hope this helps. Call me or stop by if you have anymore questions. <BR/>-WendyWendy Clayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06218135747858192924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651551539745638586.post-89428221115255057762008-12-19T16:58:00.000-08:002008-12-19T16:58:00.000-08:00God is awesome in the way he works!!!<BR/>I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers throughout the holiday season.brandyjoneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02962097812995846944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651551539745638586.post-37595074437543294312008-12-13T08:40:00.000-08:002008-12-13T08:40:00.000-08:00Crystal, tell me where you get most of your patterns - like Walmart or like Hancock's?
