Friday 25th March - Fractured Days

Another eventful week, Sarah has been weaning her medicine and although night time seizures have been troublesome we have not had any increase of seizure activity during the day, so we are thankful for that.
A persistent night cough with bursts during the day and no obvious signs of a cold took us to visit the GP to be told the cough was due to the steroids irritating her stomach causing a reflux cough and Gaviscon was prescribed more medicine!!

With a sunny day and home from school Sarah was keen to be out doors. On going down the back door steps she went over her ankle. 
(Sarah can often be a bit wobbly due to her hyper joint mobility mixed with her ongoing absence seizures.)
Anyway not believing it was to bad an injury the week went on but yesterday as she was still not walking well we visited the GP again who sent us to A&E where a cast was put on because it looked like a small fracture!
So Sarah is not upwardly mobile but manages to bottom shuffle and thankfully she is used to having a wheel chair as she is not strong enough for crutches.
