Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 Hang in there and stay strong, if it's from a cold then try to ride it out and it will pass. You don't want to up her meds if it is a cold because then you run the risk of making her tired or other side effects. I know all of this is easier said then done but just try to get rest when you can and give Crystal all your love, like you always do. The grinding of teeth could of been part of the distress. A dentist told me that sometimes the kids do that when they cannot convey what they are upset about. and Kennedy > >Reply-To: polymicrogyria >To: <polymicrogyria > >Subject: I think Crystal Aquielle had more seizures last >night - where else to go, but to the experts ??? >Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2001 17:07:55 -0500 > > >Hi, everyone.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2003 Report Share Posted January 19, 2003 Dear Chris I am amazed that Crystal was discharged, rather than keeping her for observation till Tues. Will be praying for those who do her operation, the staff who provide her post op care, for Crystal of course, and for you and your family. Please know that we are with you in spirit. Hugs and kisses to your precious girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
