Mallory was scheduled for a 3 hour video EEG on Wednesday, which she hasn't had done before. After she got hooked up to the electrodes she looked like this:
She did great during the test and fell asleep when they wanted her to. After the test we went and got a bite to eat before meeting up with the doctor. The exam with the doctor went well. He said it sounds reasonable to continue weaning her off her meds and see what happens. The EEG did show some brain abnormality during the flashing lights, which does indicate some seizure tendency. We go back in 6 months if nothing changes.
That night we got back to RL around 5ish and around 8:00 that night Mallory spiked a 103 temp. Off to the ER we went. Doctor there confirmed H1N1. Yay...not. Told me just to keep up with Tylenol and Motrin and plenty of liquids and let it run its course. Needless to say, that took a week. She finally went back to school yesterday. Isabella ended up getting it Friday evening and I got it Friday morning and E got it Friday sometime. So all weekend we were sick, sick, sick. The girls did end up feeling a little better Saturday night before trick or treating so we did let them go. Isabella didn't last long though. She was only out about a half hour before she asked to go home.
Here's what they dressed up as:
Holle and Nate Spessard invited us to go with them trick or treating, which was fun. Thanks guys!!
The girls definately were beat that night. We all rested on Sunday. I was finally able to go back to work today for a full day. But now I think the morning sickness is kicking in as I have been nauseous on and off all day. I was really hoping to avoid it this time since I had been feeling so good but it doesn't look like that's a possibility.
HOPEFULLY we have all now since recovered from the nasty H1N1 and can feel somewhat normal again!
