Wow! Thanks Guys!

Mark,

Thanks for the idea of giving a talk about head injuries. We do goof off a fair amount at church and most of the time, I had been known to act like more of a kid than those kids do. I don't think I ever really told them that I can't be like that anymore, and a good talk about head injuries in general would be informative for them.

The seizure study will go on for anywhere between 24 hours and 4 days. I'm not sure exactly what they will be looking at or for. I'll definately let you know when I go for my appt on Tuesday.

PCS Mom,

I know what you mean about conversion disorder, they tried giving me that dx a few months ago, only to find- like your daughter, that I'm psychologically healthy. They rested back on PCS, and now think the initial hit 4 months ago has caused some sort of epilepsy. We'll see after this study, I guess.

I have read about the IMPACT test as well, and a local university here has some sort of study doing something like that. I am trying to get involved in it. I have yet to recieve an answer. I'll keep you posted.

I'm really happy that your daughter is doing well. Normalcy is something I crave all too often. She's really lucky to have 2 parents who love and support her.

Hockey,

Yeah... I guess I don't mind being a lab rat, or guinea pig as you so nicely put it. ;-) I am also willing to take help wherever I can get it. The neuro at the hospital said that the epilepsy could be permanent and if it is, I really want to get help for it.

I'll know more after Tuesday, so I'll keep everyone up to date. Thanks for all the good words and advice!
