Ella had a seizure on Sunday afternoon. We were just getting ready to go to Yael’s house for a Hanukah party. I was dressing her on the changing table. It was very subtle and only lasted about a minute but the scary thing was that she apparently had difficulty with oxygen because I saw her turning blue around the mouth. She became very still (not stiff), her eyes rolled up, she had that far off gaze plus and was pale. I wasn’t sure about her being blue at first, so I held her up to the light near the window. By the time I could discern what was going on, the seizure passed. I wasn’t sure what we should do if anything and what to do about Hanukah plans. I called the Epilepsy doc on call and luckily got Dr. Duffy. He immediately advised me of a plan after asking some questions. He thought it might be an isolated occurrence related to her getting her immunizations last Friday. We went back to a regime of Tylenol every 4 hours. She has been okay since then with no more seizures. Yeah! Even though we are so disappointed with Children’s Hospital I’m beginning to feel the advantages of being near experts like Dr. Duffy. He has so much experience and a calming, caring manner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
