4 December 2009

I haven't posted for a few days as I was waiting for the Neurologist to phone back and then I would update about everything but he hasn't called.  I chased it up again yesterday only to be told he was in Portsmouth all day.

I phoned the Epilepsy helpline on Tuesday about 4pm and told them we were travelling and what to do about Olivia's medication and the fact that there will be a time difference.  Basically the lady said to start adjusting the times of the doses and the same when we return.

I told her about Olivia falling over now and she asked what medication she's on.  I told her and she said I needed to speak to an Epilepsy specialist to see if they thought the Lamictal was making her worse as it can happen but is rare.  I phoned the Neurologists secretary but she must have left for the day so on Wednesday morning I phoned again.  I told her everything which had happened and what the Epilepsy helpline had said and she said the Neurologist would phone when he had the chance but he hasn't as yet.

Olivia's been pretty much okay bar some twitching in bed and on Wednesday she had a funny turn where she was moaning and crying but would not talk to us.  She wanted a cuddle so I lifted her up and her eyes went all glazed and she was staring.  Then after quite some time her face started twitching (near her mouth) and that had happened on Sunday when she went funny in the shop.
