Those of you who were following R's progress after her recent seizure / stroke episode will be interested to know that we are taking her to GOSH tomorrow for an MRA and Echo under GA. It is hoped that these two tests will clarify what it was that happened, and therefore what treatment is appropriate. We have continued to give R aspirin, (treatment for a stroke), disguised within a Petit Filous, although she now knows it's there, and has even helped us prepare it. On at least three occasions she has got out of bed and come to tell us that we have forgotten to give her her medicine.
Since she came out of hospital and went back to school she has been fine - back to her old self. Aspirin, of course, thins the blood, which is the whole point, but it does mean that R bruises really easily and also if she cuts herself it takes a lot longer to stop bleeding - one morning we had a bleeding lip for an hour and a half! Just what you need before school.
Please pray for us all tomorrow, and that the doctors will be able to tell us what happened...
