Sound seizures

[Guest guest]

Candi,

My son Teddy doesn't have seizures, but they are currently discussing this

same issue on the Lissencephaly Loop. Many of the kids have seizures in

response to noises that bother them. So it sounds like you are absolutely

correct about them being a trigger. Sorry to hear that didn't have

a party but I'm sure you made sure she had a good day! I know Teddy &

Hunter will be turning 3 in August and I'm not sure that a party is best

thing for them. Might just go to Burger King and play in the ball pit!

Kim & Teddy Raub

's Birthday

Thanks to all the wonderful birthday wishes! had been

seizure free for eight months, until last weekend. I took her to my

sister's wedding reception in Virginia on Friday night, and then to

her friend's third birthday party, back in West Virginia, the very

next morning, where she had a seizure in front of all the guests!

So, we decided not to do a party for , even though her brother

has a birthday today (2 days later). We're just thankful she only

had one episode. We noticed that she is extremely sensitive to

applause. A few weeks ago we took her to a dance recital. EAch

time the audience would applaud, would scream and shake, as

if she were trying to escape the noise. At the birthday party, she

had the same reaction to the breaking of a pinata. Does anyone

else's child react this way? This may have been part of the seizure

trigger, as well. Thanks again, Candi and 3-yr. old .
