Well,it's been about a year & a half since my daughter's first signs of a T.B.I.(traumatic brain injury)appeared.
I've accepted the fact that this has changed both of our lives,although,periodically,I'm reminded just how much.

About two weeks ago,Shalisa had a seizure.
This is the first one that I'm aware of,& honestly,the first one that I've ever witnessed.
I'm glad to say that she recovered in about a minute or two,& has no memory of it happening.
I'm also happy to report that I managed to keep it together & did,what I discovered later,were all of the appropriate things to do while someone's having a seizure.
(Although,deep down,It felt like an eternity,& I was sh**ing bricks!)

We were at the University of Penn Medicine in Phila. last week for an E.E.G.
& a visit with the neurologist.
The testing showed a few "spikes" in brain activity & we were told that with the present brain damage, that Shalisa will more than likely suffer an occasional seizure.
At this time,she's taking an anti seizure medication & I'm monitoring her for any extreme mood changes.

I'm doing my best to keep Shalisa as active as possible,both, physically & mentally.
Some days that's that's a fairly large task.
Some days it's much easier.
Other than this latest scare,she's ,for the most part, doing ok.

Ironically,I've been so busy dealing with the changes in our lives,
I hadn't realized how much our lives had changed.
