Adding Seizures to the Mix

Well, I last reported that I was amazed Annie wasn't having seizures since she was vomiting so much, so I'm sad to report now that the seizures have worsened dramatically the last few days. She is having a very difficult time keeping any of her meds down, so her myoclonic seizures have come and been lasting up to an hour each. She's required two doses of her emergency seizure drug (Diastat) in the last 24 hours. The last several days she has been very lethargic, had worsening diarrhea, increased vomiting, an increase in seizures, and quite a bit of pain. These are nearly all the same symptoms she had when two different doctors instructed us to go to the ER on two separate nights. Each of those nights, the ER would not treat her and told us to contact her doctors for treatment!

So a few days ago after returning from the ER the second time, our pediatrician decided to admit Annie to the hospital if things kept getting worse, and now with the high increase in seizures and still lots of vomiting and diarrhea and pain, we plan to have Annie admitted in the morning. Hopefully then they can do the colonoscopy and endoscopy, and get an immediate infectious diseases consultation. They'll get her on IV fluids and hopefully get her perked up a little more and help prevent her from loosing too much more weight. So please continue to keep Annie in your prayers. We have no idea what all the tests are going to show since her case of c-diff has developed into lots of symptoms not typical of c-diff. We appreciate everyone's continued prayers for her.
