A seizure tonight.... Watch "The Doctors" on Monday ... and various other links

First of all Luella had a seizure tonight - ending a 17 day seizure-free run. We so rarely have that many days between seizures. We were kind of waiting for it to happen... but you just never know when. We took the kids to a movie this afternoon. It happened just before the movie and then she slept and missed all of it... woke up in time for the credits. :-( Such a bummer. We had to give her midazolam to stop this seizure and she chewed up her tongue pretty bad again too.

OTHER NEWS
Charlotte Figi - a little girl from Colorado with Dravet will have a segment on "The Doctors" TV show on Monday. Charlotte was featured in the CNN special "Weed" a couple months ago. She has seen amazing results from using medical marijuana.  http://www.thedoctorstv.com/main/show_page/D6071



And... another great YouTube video with Josh Stanley explaining the special marijuana they grow for Charlotte. This is a GREAT one to watch!! I haven't linked to this one before: http://youtu.be/ciQ4ErmhO7g

    Thanks for all the great links Heather. I will definitely be checking them out.
    Ben just ended a long streak of no seizures as well. He went 11 days without one so we knew one was coming. It's sad, but almost a relief when it finally comes because then we can relax a little afterward, well, not really, but kind of :)
