A few weeks ago, Michael's MRI came out normal. Thank goodness! And the EEG he had a few days ago showed no seizure activity. The neurologist suspected that Michael's seizures weren't epileptic seizures but those that result from 'the breath holding spell'. The breath holding spell occurs when a child gets hurt and cries incessantly that they hold their breath or forget to breathe. And that is exactly what happened to Michael. He bumped his head both times, cried and cried until his body stiffened and went into seizures. It was such a horrifying experience to see your child turn blue and appear lifeless for a few minutes while you wait for him to come back and regain his breadth. We are so grateful that he hasn't had an episode since.
Michael, we love you very very much. You bring so much joy and happiness to everyone you meet. You're so friendly and kind that you draw attention from everyone everywhere you go. We hope you grow to be even more joyful and humble because you will definitely become someone great one day.
