Dolce update




Dolce had Seizure number 3 on June 14th. We took her to the Dr. right after and got a referral for a neurologist at Primary Childrens. We were able to get a fast track appointment for 2 days later and made a rushed trip to Salt Lake. She had several tests done and all of her results came back normal except for her Iron level, which was a little low. Because her seizures seem to always be provoked by breath holding spells, her Iron being low may be the problem. The plan for now is to try to increase her Iron levels over the next 3 months. If she still has seizures once her Iron levels are where they should be she will have to be put on seizure medication. We're really hoping for favorable results with the iron and especially hoping for no more seizures. Dolce is doing really good, as always, and we felt like it was very helpful to meet with Dr. Fuller and Dr. Sakonju. Hopefully we've found a solution to Dollys seizure problem. Thanks everyone for the concern and love for her!
