Back in the Hospital

Rana is back in the hospital. She has a very ordinary virus that caused a fever, but it seems to have set off a chain reaction in her little brain, as she started having seizures/twitching early Wednesday morning. The doctors have said that it is not uncommon for children who have had strokes etc. to have seizures when they have a high fever, and this was one of the warnings they had given us when they released her from the hospital after her strokes.


She is in a normal hospital room in the children's ward and the twitching has subsided. Her fever is going up and down, so she is her playful self lots of the time.

She will have to stay in the hospital until the fever breaks for good, at which point the doctors plan to run a few more tests.
