John has taken a turn for the worse this week, at least as far as seizures are concerned. He had a 60 second seizure 3 days in a row this week, which we haven't seen for a long time. These are the typical tonic/clonic seizures. One of these seizures was at preschool again. This is the first real seizure that they have seen at preschool and it scared them. I don't think they were prepared. You can describe a seizure all you want, but you can't really understand until you see one. After his seizure, they mistakenly tried to keep him awake. Poor guy was totally exhausted when we got there. We're glad they got to see one. We have revisited what his triggers are, and we even changed his class time to the afternoon since most of his seizures are in the morning.

John got his stitches taken out a couple of days ago. Unfortunately the wound didn't close up very well, so he's going to end up with a permanent scar on his forehead. Oh well.

We also started to see a behavior psychologist last week. This appt. was scheduled for us, and we were told that his job was to coordinate John's services. But, he seems like he is more valuable as a resource to help us with John's behaviors, so I think that is how we'll try to steer the sessions.
