My Shudder Bug

So of course C Lee found out that B man gave us a scare as a baby when we found that hemangioma on his liver so he decided to give a little scare of his own with shudder attacks.  We didn't know thats what it was because they look very similar to seizures. Two emergency room visits and new underwear later we are convinced that C lee is having benign shudder attacks. What are these that you speak of? Well, sometimes when we start to fall asleep or we are asleep and we jolt ourselves awake once, imagine doing that over and over for a few seconds and you got a shudder. We noticed that when C lee was tired (around his morning nap) we would feed him and as he difted off to sleep he would start shaking (seizure like) for a few seconds and then stop. All the while still eating. It really scared us, especiall since he fell off the couch two days prior. We didn't know if the fall damaged his brain or not ( we were reassured by docotrs that it did not). So basically, he does this as a result of an immature central nervous system and he will eventually grow out of it within the year. To make sure, we still want to consult the neurologist and show him the video Mike was able to capture. If she agrees we will probably not do the EEG and just watch him and make sure it doesn't get worse.

On another note, I am probably going to take on a new job that is closer to home and I will get to do more OB work. I am exicted not to drive down to Denver and am looking for to the change in scenery and new challenges. I will update you on more when I know more.

B man and C lee are getting along so good right now. C lee loves watching B jump around and is always smiling at him. B likes that he can make his brother smile. He is a natural comic.
