"Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from Him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior's hand. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them." Psalm 127:3-5

Absent Seizures??
I think Declan might be having absent seizures. He seems to have these episodes where he just spaces out and we can't seem to get his attention even if we touch him, shake him, or call his name. Then he just snaps out of it after 10-30 seconds. For a long time I thought he was just spacing out. We call it zoning (zoning out). But now I am thinking it might be sometime more. My sister and daughter have seen it and they agree with me. Doc called in a referral to neurology at Children's Hospital to have him tested. I am not sure what kind of testing they will do, but I am glad that we are looking into this. My aunt had absent seizures for years and never had treatment. She totaled her car as a teenager because of having an absent seizure while driving. I hope it is nothing. But I want to be sure. In the mean time we will be spending a lot of time at Children's Hospital. He also has a referral for testing at the Developmental Disorders Department at Children's. He shows the same symptoms as Carmen and Gabe for sensory dysfunction and autism spectrum disorder. And on top of all of that, we think he is showing a sensitivity to dairy again. Fun.
