More questions than answers

So Aly's diagnosis is still pending. When she had the first seizure on Tuesday the 17th, they thought it was just a high fever that caused a seizure, which I guess can happen in children occasionally. When she had another seizure, they weren't sure why because her fever was down.So off we went to Primary's, which meant we had a series of doctors and specialists taking a look at Aly and all of them drawing a blank.She doesn't have any one red flag symptom that screams, "insert diagnosis here." />
They have tossed around a ton of different scenarios, such as several different types of viral infection, kidney problems, vasculitis, an auto-immune disorder, a blood clotting disorder, cancer, and probably some others I can't remember. I am racking my brain to think of anything that happened in the last few weeks that was out of the ordinary, or anything weird she did that would help the doctors figure this out.

I have gone from  needing an answer to not caring to needing answers again. I don't understand how a perfectly healthy baby could spiral out of control so fast. We have paged "Dr.House" about 100 times here. I know Drs. don't know everything, and this is just as frustrating for them as it is for us. I really hope someone sees something soon that sparks a "eureka" moment for someone and they can finally tell us what happened and why.

GO ALY!

  1. I have been thinking about little Aly a lot and just a thought. Hope that it doesn't offend, meant in all sincerety. Do you guys know if your home or the daycare has mold anywhere or mildew? What about a carbon minoxide leak that may be a small one, but would effect a little one? Daycare... Could she have swallowed something that is hurtful to an infant or could they have the mold, mildew, or carbon minoxide issue? She didn't have any signs of being dropped? I'm sorry Tori... Please know that having Savannah a day apart in the same hospital has allowed this situation for you to hit close to home for me and Alisha. You are in are prayers, and little Aly has two huge cheer leaders in Alisha, Savannah, and I. God bless little Aly!

    GO ALY!!!!!
