Olivia's had a really bad day again where she was like a zombie. Apparently no-one could understand her at toddlers. That was her first time back since it all happened so people were shocked at the difference in her.

The Paediatrician phoned yesterday to say he'd spoken to the Neurologist who think things are much simpler than the Paediatrician thought.

He has said to treat Olivia for Epilepsy with Epilim and see how that goes.

The Paediatrician said he thought it was a rare brain problem. They discussed doing a 48 hour portable EEG but he said it could only have backed up the fact that somethings wrong which they already know as Alex took some video up to the hospital to show her seizures. We have to take her back to the Paediatrician next week to be reviewed and see if the medicine is helping.

Basically they're saying it's hard to say what's caused the problem and what exactly the problem is so they're hoping this will work.I bought one of those Angelcare baby monitors yesterday that sound an alarm if they stop breathing as several nights when I've sat with her, she doesn't breath for ages and then takes a really big breath.

I told the Paediatrician hoping he'd say children do that but he didn't. I haven't been able to sleep very well lately but I did last night.
