Seizure to end 2017

Well, as much we hoped to avoid a seizure with the fever Luella had on New Year's Eve, it just wasn't meant to be. I did put a quick update on Facebook, so you may have already heard. Luella did have a seizure just before 5 pm on Sunday. At bedtime her temp was more normal and she slept fine. This morning (Monday) she woke up with a normal temp. As the day went on her temp went up. Thankfully she hasn't had another seizure but she won't be heading back to school tomorrow. Not sure what's going on with her. She doesn't seem to have a cold although today she have a bit of a stuffy nose.

We appreciate all the messages and prayers. Hopefully she can get through this quickly.

I had hoped to make it to a new seizure-free record on the 14th.... After hearing Luella feeling a little sad about starting the count over, I decided to stop counting. At least not letting HER know the number. I don't want to put any pressure on her for something she has no control over. If she happens to hit a record, we'll celebrate THAT day. She asked me the other day if other kids with epilepsy have more seizures than she has and I said, yes, she is really quite lucky... We know so many other warriors who battle this daily! We are so grateful for how well Luella is doing! We'll take whatever happens and keep on going!! 

Luella got to celebrate a little on New Year's Eve even while battling a fever.
