Miss Hyper and Happy

Macayla had a grand mal yesterday afternoon and she got a dose of Diastat immediately. It caused her to throw up but she came through fine. We thought she looked a bit "seizure-ish" Tuesday. She was lethargic and seemed to feel bad. But yesterday she was miss perky! She smiled a bunch and even got vocal. She has been falling asleep around four in the afternoon and sleeping until 3 or 4 a.m. lately. So, yesterday it was interesting how upbeat she was and then to have the seizure after she fell asleep around 4 p.m.

She woke up this morning between 2:30 and 3:00 and I got up to be with her as that is the most likely time she would have a repeat seizure. But she only had clusters of small ones. She was miss happy and hyper all day and stayed awake until 7:45 this evening. She may have fallen asleep earlier, but a bad bout of hiccups kept her up. I am hoping this means she will be back on a more normal sleep schedule. We have been spoiled by the past year of her sleeping in a fairly normal pattern.

I had to suction her throat and nose quite a bit today and I am amazed how often she will smile in the midst of those procedures. She is such a beautiful girl!
