We took Dominic to the ER on Sunday afternoon after he had what we think was a seizure. I had just finished feeding him when he started to shake. Not violently, but a medium shake in his legs, torso and head. He then went very limp and unresponsive and then came to smiling and very alert. After some bloodwork was taken (boy, was that awful), we were transferred to a hospital with a full pediatric unit about 30 minutes away. We had a visit from the pediatric neurologist and attending pediatrician. They gave Dom a full examination. The doctors were going to order an EEG but unfortunately if Dominic isn't in the midst of a seizure, there's no way to tell if he's had one or not. Since there is no family history and no physical evidence of a seizure, we were just kept for observation in case he were to have another episode.
Luckily, he did not have another episode and we were released Monday morning. We are going to keep an eye on our little guy for any more problems. He has an appointment tomorrow for a follow-up and to treat a sinus infection I think he has too. He's been sneezing and coughing really badly today. Ugh....here is a pic of our little man in his pediatric gown and grippy socks:
