Update on My Daughter

There were a few of you that asked how my daughter is doing now after her trauma at just 7 weeks of age. She is now 7 years old and in the first grade.

The first 24 hours after the incident was the worse. Not knowing just how bad the injuries were and if they were going to effect her any. She had 4 seizures the day after she was admitted and was put on Phenabarbatol. Luckily she didn't have any more seizures after that and when she was about nine months old I was allowed to ween her off of it.

At 7 weeks it was too hard to tell what kind of problems she might have later in life. At the tender age of 4yrs, she started showing signs of a rage issue. So we had her checked out and she is ADHD (although she no longer takes meds for this), she has an impulse disorder, and sensory issues.

Considering what could have gone wrong, I count my blessings everyday that those three things are all that are wrong with her. I keep my fingers crossed that nothing else ever comes up.

Thank you for your concern!

xoxo
