An off day

I couldn't rouse Laura this morning, always a bad start to the day. Of course it was a work day for me and I had a car full of fruit ready to make fruit salad with the class and a trip to Church this afternoon. But I had to stay at home.

By 9 o'clock she seemed pretty OK. She'd got up and was in the lounge and even briefly played, but then she seemed sleepy and slept for most of the morning. At 11 she woke up only to go straight into a seizure. Alex was on hand and gave her oxygen whilst I gave her paraldehyde. She stopped fitting after about 20 minutes and slept until 4pm only waking briefly from time to time. It was a very subtle seizure, her eyes jerking and some twitching but otherwise only the blueness of her lips and skin and unresponsiveness gave it away.

She seems pretty OK again now, has had a bath and feed and is vocalising well as she watches the Fimbles. Hopefully she will be able to go to school tomorrow.
