So far, so good...

Two nights ago, Sophie woke up at midnight and had a bad cluster of seizures. They were strong and she had about 30. She was making strange arm movements and crying. She has actually been waking up in the middle of the night lately and having seizures. Well, last night, she woke up at 12:50am. She sat straight up in bed and started crying. It is hard to get her to lay back down. For some reason, laying back down upsets her. So I got her to cuddle up in my arms and she fell right back to sleep. It felt like she had about 6 myoclonic jerks which are different than her infantile spasms and tonic seizures. Myoclonic jerks are where your body just kind of shutters when you are falling asleep...can be perfectly normal. Her arms didn't thrust out. This is a great sign. Then she woke up at 6:30am this morning and Brandon lay down with her and she fell back to sleep without having any seizures. She is still sleeping. Her seizures are the worst in the middle of the night and first thing in the morning. Could the ACTH work this quickly?!?!
