Laura seems to be having more seizures on Thursdays and the initial trigger seems to be music as they are starting in music lessons. Sound and noise can be a trigger for Laura but it would be sad if music was a trigger too. I need to find out more about what happens in music lessons as she happily listens to music on CDs and DVDs at home with no signs of szs, but I guess if the kids are bashing cymbals and banging drums then that could be a problem for her. School agree that there is a pattern emerging with more szs on a Thursday, usually with the first happening in music.
Maybe it isn't the music but the room where the music lessons take place? I need to check with her teacher about that. When we saw the teacher earlier in the week for her parents evening she said that the flourescent lights in some parts of the school were troubling her. Perhaps it's the lights and the music. It's hard to know for sure.
I did mention the problem with the lights to the Occupational Therapist who came round for a home visit today and she will look into whether they can be changed for more natural lighting, or at least she will follow it up with the Head as it's hard to know who's responsible for this and who will pay for it. I know from our Dravet support group, other kids are troubled by flourescent lights so it's not a new trigger.
