At what age did the seizures start? |
Tink has some neuro damage because of a really bad bout last summer with histoplasmosis. It started in her lungs and moved to her GI tract and then into her brain. The seizures started when she was in the hospital and have gotten much better over the course of the year. They did LFTs, complete blood and urine panels at the start. and still do pre & post bile acids every 3 months. Liver function is on the low end at about 20 I think. She was 10 mo old when she got sick and started having the seizures about 4 days into the sickness.
Right now she is at hospital. I took her in last night because she kept crying. I called at 11:00 pm and they said to bring her right then. She is lethargic, little color in her gums, tongue is sticky, panting alot, crying, won't eat or drink(although swallows if I drop water from a syringe in her mouth). petit mal clusters - about 3 per hr. Beginning to drag her butt a tad. Very soft stools - half of the volume is blood tinged mucous. Vomiting bile - no food to speak of for most of three days. Maybe 1/3 cup of chicken & potatoes blended.
She is really bad. And my heart is just sick. She doesn't even want her frog.
