Well, Friday started out as any old day and then dinner came along. We all sat down for a relaxing meal and noticed Josephine started moving her head left to right in a repetitive motion. My mom noticed Josephine had been looking at the dining room light just before the movements. We waited and observed for about 15 minutes and saw the same thing occur again. And again. After brief discussion, we decided to call the neurologist, Dr. Bojko, to alert her of the situation.
The on-call doc told us to take Josephine to the ER, which we did without too much panic. We didn’t want Little Sheldon to worry.
The ER staff was amazing! They whisked us in quickly and we were seen by the attending pediatrician within 20 minutes. After consultation with Dr. Bojko, Josephine was admitted for another EEG test. The difference is this time the doctors will monitor her with a video camera so the movements can be captured on camera as well on electronically on the EEG machine. Updates to follow…
