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.
