DD has had two episodes where her mouth has dropped to one side as if having a stroke. agmongst other symptoms< such as dropping to the floor suddenly and without reason or warning.
she had an MRI on wednedsay but because she is only 12 months she had to be sedated< this involved force feeding her a foul tasting medicine, she screamed, she was so devestated. i had to hold her down while the nurse fed it to her, she was coughing and reaching. she kept looking at me as if to say " mummy what are you doing to me?". she fought the sedation with all her might, crying until she coulnt cry any longer.
Then, the MRI itself was awful. i didnt realise how loud they were! DD was strapped to the table and earplugs put in her ears.
She now refuses to go to sleep until she is so tired she cant stay awake any longer.
we are pretty sure its epliepsy. and, im so devestated.
fuckety fuck fuck!!!!!! DH is useless, ive got no family support, being thru some total shit this year apart from this.
I dont know how to be a good mum all of a sudden!
