The Day After

Today Naomi woke at 5:30. She's been waking up pretty good. No big seizures. But, yesterday she only got to nap in the car on the way back and forth from the hospital. She got a decent nap going up, maybe 40 minutes. Then maybe only 20 minutes on the way back. So of course this morning she had a bunch of seizures when she got up. The biggest part of them were over by 10 minutes, but they kept coming, sometimes not more than a strong swallow, for another 10 minutes. Then she fell back asleep for an hour. Woke fine, just 2 small little jerks. Then was sleepy again by 10 so we laid back down. She woke up fine this time, but she's having one little, almost dizzy spell , every once in a while.
Also before her nap I thought she felt warm and she had a temp of 100, so I gave her acetaminophen and she fell asleep gnawing her finger... Those molars again???? Will they ever come? Her gums look "full" but no white showing.
So to keep her happy we're watching Signing Time, over and over. Isaiah must have gotten tired of the DVD we were watching because he switched it out for another Signing Time.
I can't blame him!
This is her first day on 3.5:1 also so I'm sure her little body is trying to adjust. Her little mouth sure doesn't mind the extra cream! The kid just about chips her tooth trying to get the cup in her mouth! I've read to give the fat first, but if I give her the cream, she'll say to heck with everything else!

I don't think it matters if the cream is first if she's gobbling everything up, anyway. I believe that suggestion is meant as a precaution to ensure she gets the fat if she doesn't eat all her food.
