Megan woke up after a couple of hours last night because she had a dirty diaper. She will not sleep through the night with one so I changed her when she woke up. Based on how things have been going I knew she would have a hard time with me putting her back down. 3 hours later she was still upset so I took her downstairs to try to rock her to sleep.
It took quite a while for me to get her to sleep because she was just wanting to play but it did happen after about an hour. We moved her mattress to the living room floor so I could move her out of my lap so she could be more comfortable but as soon as I tried to sit up with her she woke up. I tried to rock her back to sleep but she wasn't having it so I put her in bed and thankfully after only 2 or 3 minutes she was asleep and she slept for 5 hours straight. So she got about 7-71/2 hours sleep total last night and boy you can tell this morning. She is happy, and she is currently happily playing by herself (not something she has wanted to do in a long time).
So, in case you were wondering Megan had no twitching or jerking of any kind while sleeping in my arms.
Will and I have our theory about what caused Megan to have seizures. We did a lot of research and Megan had several triggers occur right before they started. Megan got overheated several days in a row, followed by lack of sleep (exhaustion) which led to not wanting to eat or drink causing dehydration. Any one of those items can trigger a seizure and she had all three. I haven't discussed this with her doctor, but plan to when she calls to discuss Megan's EEG results either today or Monday.
