Seizure activity

It had been almost a year and a half but Ryan had a few more seizures recently. He had one at home on Feb. 17 and then another one at school on March 26. After the February seizure, when I spoke to Ryan's neurologist, he didn't want to make any changes to meds but wanted me to reach back out if we noticed more seizures. Ryan was fine until late March when he had another seizure at school. At that point it was determined that we needed to up his dosage of one of his anti-seizure medicines.

These seizures presented differently than his past seizures. With these seizures, he was clinching his hands into fists and arching his back.  His legs were stick straight. It was kind of scary and it was very clearly a seizure, whereas his seizures in the past were not as obvious.

Everything has been fine since we've increased his meds and we're on a new seizure-free day count. Today is 16 days seizure-free.
