I am probably really behind on this but I figure I am due for an update.
Cait had a good month around christmas but about a week ago her seizure issues started up again. Then on Thursday night and again friday morning she had double vision this time lasting over an hour. I took her to the peds office and spent most of my friday there. It is a long and gnarly story but after some mama bear growling I talked personally to my neuro who had not been given most of the messages about Cait from her office staff.
Cait is going to the neuro on Wednesday this week and they are trying to schedule a rush prolonged EEG for her soon. THen when she gets her braces off in a couple weeks we will do a repeat MRI.
Not sure if they are seizures. There are 3 things the doc is thinking could cause the double vision. 1) side effect of her med but we have virtually ruled that out, 2) seizures, 3) some other thing the neuro didn't want to go into just yet. If it is seizures it is the type they HAVE to catch on EEG while it is happening because it won't leave the trace signs later that some other seizures do. I am supposed to see if her eyes "jiggle" during these episodes to see if it is the other.
Then if that isn't enough for the poor kid, her guinea pig died today. I am done with new piggies for a while. Instead we finally started the process of getting an assistance dog for her. Takes about 2 years which is perfect for us at this juncture. It is time we downsized petville a bit. If the other piggies like me they will join their friend soon. They are great pets but I am tired of pet cleaning, feeding, etc.
