It is nice to relax after another stressful day. Rhys has continued to have "absence seizures".
Absence seizures — also known as petit mal seizures — involves a brief, sudden lapse of conscious activity. They involve a slight twitch of his mouth and sometimes a small bi-lateral arm jerk. It looks like he is merely staring into space for a few seconds and then its over. None the less, it still scares the shit out of me. So after a quick trip to the pediatric neurologist, and 5 of these episodes in an hour and a half, we now have him on an anti-convalescent medication. Rob and I were very reluctant to give him medication, but it is truly necessary to make sure his development and fabulous progress is not affected. So more grey hair for me...
