PNES - Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES)

Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures ( PNES ) In one word?  Scary.  Your thriving, growing child explains that she "goes" to a place where she can't remember spaces of time throughout her school day.  Immediately, my thoughts go to seizures and Epilepsy.  We travel this path thinking it's Epilepsy.  What will the neuro say?  What will they do?  Weeks later, we still have minimal answers and are going through tests.  The initial EEG shows nothing.  Why is she having the seizures.  By this time, I have seen the seizure first hand and it's worst than I thought.  She has was seems to be Absence Seizures.  She's there but not.  And she only has them at school.  Strange, right? As if the first EEG is not bad enough, they order a second one to capture approximately 36 hours worth of data and possibly one of the seizures.  My poor child has to wear the wires attached to her head to school, since that is were most of th...

Another Revelation!

We were doing eye therapy tonight and I was asking CJ about how he sees words.  He said they get jumbled up when I look at them.  I said how do they jumble up?  he said they jumble up then look normal.  I said how fast?  He said you count and I'll tell you. I asked him if he could draw me a picture of what it looked like.  So he did.  And when we counted, it was 1-2 - jumbled.  1-2 normal.  1-2 normal  So we then tried it with his glasses on.  He said - no.  Clear.  Perfect.  Like they look on the paper.  I said are you sure?  We did several tests and each time he said they were jumbled or dots and each time we put the glasses on, the words were normal. Between each switch, I let his eyes rest for a few seconds.  Just to be sure we were giving them enough time to rest between glasses and no glasses.  I made him look at the same words on the pages as well. I tried the same test on hi...

Black Friday - to do it or not?

I'm leaning towards Not this year.  It will be the first year I have not done Black Friday.  I used to love it.  I used to live for it.  I would map out my route and what I was getting at each place and I would go.  The older I get, the less I love it.  The deals don't outweigh the time it takes to get the deal.  Standing in line for hours and hours to fight for one item....just not feeling it anymore.  Maybe it's my age but I would much rather buy it online and have it shipped right to my door.  Although I did enjoy Saturday with my husband as we did majority of our shopping for the kids.  :) I really don't agree with the retailers opening on Thanksgiving Day.  That day should be spent with your family.   However, if you are going to hit the Black Friday sales, this is by far the best site for it.   www.bfads.net It will create a list by store for you.  All you have to do is print it and go.  It has the openi...
