So yesterday, sometime after one of Lucas' seizures I went to change his diaper and found his lips turning purple. I laid him out on the table under the light, and sure enough, the lips were purple and his hands were blue from his fingers to his knuckles. After about a minute or two of me talking to him and sitting him upright, he finally took a deep breath and perked back up. But he was groggy for about an hour or so after this. So finally, with a little convincing from my mom, I decided it was time to take him to the ER.
After about ten minutes of talking to the ER doctor, he all but diagnosed Lucas with rolondic seizures. Can you believe that? Ten minutes of just talking to me, the ER doctor (thinks he) knows exactly what Lucas has. If I would've known it was that easy to get an answer, I would've taken him to the ER ages ago. And finally Lucas has a seizure in front of a doctor--Praise the Lord! So I'm not crazy, and it's definitely seizures. (I could call Dr. Africk and give her a few choice words right about now!)
So I quickly looked up roldondic (or rolandic; I've found it spelled both ways) and it describes almost to a T exactly what he's been doing. Partial seizures, mostly facial tremors, in boys, lots of drooling!! I feel so much better now.
Well I will write more later, but I'm heading out for a ladies night tonight. See y'all later!
BTW, I was so right by upping his meds!
