seizure

So, it looks as though Eve may have had a seizure in school today. The nurse called me to tell me and I asked that I get a detailed account of what happened so I could bring it to the neurologist. Here's the note that her teacher sent home:
"She may have had a seizure around 10:20 this morning. She was in her wheelchair and her head tilted back a little and was turned to her left. Eyes slightly closed, mouth opened a bit. Her color changed slightly and she didn't seem aware of her surroundings. It lasted about 10 seconds. When Sarah released the brake of the wheelchair, Eve began to move her head again, started [sic]. Her name was not called nor was she touched before she was startled by brake. When she was first in the classroom this morning she didn't seem her usual self, less responsive. Becky thought her color was a little off."

We're seeing the new mito doc this week and will mention this. I talked to the pediatrician today (about adding another dose of prevacid) and told her. I'll also tell the neurologist when we see him again. I don't think this is anything to freak out over just yet. We'll keep an eye on her. If this happens again, I'll call the neuro. Until then, we'll just wait and see.
