We had a great question from a friend yesterday: What happens to Noah after a seizure?
Noah has both absence seizures and partial-complex seizures. Though they are both distinctly different, they have (at least in Noah) the same post-seizure effect, this is actually called the postical-phase. They are so exhausting and taxing on his little body that Noah sleeps for a period of time ranging from 10 minutes to 45 minutes. Anything over an hour and we are to report to the emergency room. Same rules for a seizure that lasts more than 10 minutes, though I am sure I would be in the car after about 4 minutes. The picture on the right was taken about 3 minutes after the third of Noah’s 7 seizures on Saturday.
In fundraising news we are closing in on our goal of $1500. Thanks to everybody who has signed up, we appreciate your support more than we can say.
