since the last post things went slightly different to how we thought. the first blood test meant that DH, myself plus two nurses had to hold DJ down as we needed alot of blood from him and the best way was via the vain in the arm. then a week later another blood test as two came back a little hinky. then about 48 hours after that DJ had a fit. it lasted half an hour (and thats with the use of drugs to top it) and they had NFI what triggered it. so we got booked in for an MRI and an EEG. (i keep typeing Egg the first time ) the EEG went fine. amazeing how food can distract.
then yesterday they tried to sedate DJ for an MRI. which was a fail. i know he can fight sleep but i thought sedation would knock him out - so we're trying sedation again in a week or two. if that fails we have an MRI booked for June at the RCH melb.
I talked to the pead yesterday about the bloods and the EEG and his words "annoying normal" and has (at this stage) ruled out the fit as epileptic. he said that there was a 'fit' of sorts while they did the EEG but it wasn't picked up on brain waves. he does how ever have alot of Delta brain way activity, but the bloods where all good. so now its a case of seeing if the MRI brings anything to light or not. it could be "just him" so for now we go to the special school (for bubs/toddlers) and treat DJ like a two year old.
