Gelastic Seizures

Annie's vomiting has lessened as we've given her Robitussin--we think she has just had a hard time dealing with congestion. However, Annie is now having more gelastic seizures. It's hard to put a number on how many she's having each day. Gelastic seizures are seizures that present as sudden, unexplainable,  outbursts of emotion.

Annie's gelastic seizures typically present as sudden laughing and giggling, sometimes so hard that she can't catch her breath. However, she has also had some occasional outbursts of crying and sadness.

We're relieved that the vomiting hasn't continued, but we're still using suction regularly. We'll have to do her bladder scan study another time, but she's still scheduled for her brain MRI on Wednesday. And soon we'll start weaning Annie off her phenytoin, so we'll see what her seizures start doing then.

The great news is that our furnace started working again! Justin fiddled with it and it now seems to be working just fine. So that's a huge relief!
