Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Hi Everyone, My daughter, Charlotte 3 1/2, had a few procedures under general anesthesia yesterday, PE tubes, bronchoscopy, ABR and an MRI of her lungs. She was under for approximately 2 1/2 hours. We joined back up with her in the recovery room and she was awake, but not making eye contact with us. Her blood pressure was normal and stable and the hospital staff felt she was fine to go home. Once we got home and she became a bit more active and rather aggressive in her behavior, hitting and slapping at us. I gave her some Tylenol since I thought maybe she was reacting to some pain. Late in the afternoon, she became very upset and actually appeared to have a sort of seizure, something we have never observed in her before. She turned bluish, eyes rolled back and became rigid. This resolved within seconds, and she seemed fine right after. Charlotte is non-verbal and does hit from time to time, but yesterday's reactions were beyond anything we've seen in her. I read here on this list a few weeks back about different mood reactions to anesthesia. My question, are those negative and angry emotions resolved once the anesthesia is fully out of the system or did it linger? And, has anyone ever observed a seizure-like episode after anesthesia? Charlotte seemed okay this morning, after a restless night's sleep. Thank you all for any input. Always appreciated. Trish C.
