Our Mornings Sometimes

There are days when I will not send Kylie to school. Kylie often has myclonic seizures in the mornings. Kylie has a wonderful Pediatric Neurologist, Dr. Harley Morgan. Dr. Morgan asks us to record her seizure activity when her symptoms are more persistent. The eye flutter Kylie experiences is a warning that a grand mal seizure may occur.  I share this video for others to understand that Epilepsy is not just Tonic-clonic seizures (formerly known as grand mal seizures. Kylie's first grand mal seizure was at school and her second one was at home.

When Kylie is experiencing these symptoms at school or at home she is in a different state of consciousness until we can control the breakthrough seizures.
