Vegas had another seizure last night. Immediately afterwards, he began to eat. Just like that morning. Vegas did end up throwing up at 5am this morning. He still had food in his belly. That's 8 hours after his meal. I started to freak out...and carted him off to the Drs. They took 5 vials of blood and took an exray of his tum-tum. Dr said there was no blockage (spleen seemed a little swollen) BUT, he had a FULL stomach. So, it's possible that the cornmeal has slowed his digestion WAY down. He's not eating because he's full. So now Vegas has to fast for 24 hours (he's already down 6 pounds) while on metoclopramide. (a drug to help with nausea and vomiting) Blood work will come back tomorrow. Dr Uhler has made a few points that I've never considered. 1) With the last 3 seizures....he's eaten immediatly afterward. Possible that a post-ictal symptom is hunger. Which could be why he made such a huge attempt at getting into the pantry and getting the cornmeal (the baby gate was in place, secure). 2)He's got a food allergy to something in his food. Dr said that sometime in the future we may want to look into this, if anything to atleast rule it out....Dr Uhler has seen it in the past, seizures disappearing when the food is changed. He says this is a small percentage of a chance, but since Vegas is not yet 3, it might be something to consider in the future. So, 500.00 later, I have my baby boy sitting next to me. My fears of tummy twisting, and blockage are put to rest. I'm doing laundry cause he got sick in bed (and we big daddy'd it last night) He seems at peace and that makes me smile. He's sleeping and snoring. Such a glorious sound.
