My Chipper, 11 yrs now, is Hypoglycemic and still has seizures ~ at least one or more a month, they're hard to predict but after so many years he comes to me when one is coming on. I hold him tight until it passes, and give him a dose of Nutri-cal. I've told his story on YT a few times ~ he was given to us at about 6 months: sick, undernourished, no papers, no past. We were told his sister had died and he could not be sold.

We nursed, fed, neutered and exercised him, and today he is just as intelligent, healthy and active as ever, and he's held his weight, 4.6lbs. for years. .... This year he's developed a shrunken ecephogus and uses an inhaler 2x daily, and is on arthritus meds ~ but we've never regretted the day we adopted him, he is our love.

I so hope your Baby will "outgrow" the seizures/Hypoglycemia, but if he doesn't he'll claim a special place in your heart for his own. Babies with special needs have a way of doing just that. Maybe I'll get to meet him one of these days!
