Another hospital visit

Unfortunately we are back at the Royal Childrens Hospital, as last night at home after Ellies minor day procedure for her eye, she was behaving strangely. This morning she started to have  what we thought were mini seizures. She had about 3 and afterwards she would pass out and go to sleep for an hour or so. We were concerned so we rang her peadiatrician, who sugested we come back to RCH to be admitted so Ellie could be observed for 24 hours. So..... here we are back at hospital.

Since we have been here she has had at least another 8 episodes. They are very hard to pick up, as she just goes a bit vague and ever so slightly twitches. The plan at this stage is to increase her medication, and observe her over night. If her episodes become longer or more frequent, then they may need to rethink what to do.

As some of you may know Ellie was also booked for a MRI on the 17 November at Monash. We have asked if there is any possibility of having the MRI done whilst she is a in-paitent at RCH, to reduce the need of another hospital visit/admission next week. However we have been told that this might be easier said than done... so fingers crossed.

One good thing is that we have a private room, so hopefully this means a quieter night. (If Ellie behaves herself) But hopefully we are only here for 1 night...
