Update on my daughter, ...

Hello,

called me tonight and said she went to the hospital to have some tests done. After having her

wired up to a monitor, they put some kind of cream on her hands, which she was told would induce a seizure. I wish I could have been there with her, but I didn't know today was the day she was supposed to have the tests done.

A friend of the family went with her, and she was allowed to watch the testing. She said it was like watching someone who was possessed. She said 's speech began to slow down and her voice went down a couple of octaves. She said that 's whole demeanor changed right before the seizure became full blown. After the test, was asked if she remembered any of the questions that were previously asked. She didn't remember any. They waited for a little while, then they induced another seizure. said after the second seizure, she wasn't able to speak at all for quite sometime. Her friend tried to ask some questions, but she rolled over and fell asleep.

They won't have the results until next week. If they find that it is epilepsy, she has to make an appt. with a Neurologist to see about getting treated.

has also been experiencing very bad migraines for the past couple of weeks. The doctor gave her medication for them. I told to let me know when she goes to the Neuro, I want to go with her. I really feel that she should have her mother there, not some friend of the family. After all, I know more about her medical history than anyone.

Well, that's all I know for now. But, I have a lot of questions to ask her doctor. Even though is 26 years old, emotionally, she's still and adolescent. I wanted to bring her over to my house tonight and let her sleep over, since the doctor didn't advise her to be home alone after having just had two seizures, but chose to stay closer to her home and have a friend stay with her. At least she's got someone with her.

Love and blessings,

Val

Well, like I said. I'm left with all kinds of questions. When it comes to this situation, I've asked to keep me informed with all of her doctor's appointments so I can be with her. As her mother, I really should know more about what's going on with her health. Unlike the rest of my family, I care about what they are going through.

Love and blessings,

Val
