We are scheduled to go to WDW for 21 nights in May. My DD has many health problems. I'm expecting many more as she ages. But this one I didn't expect. Out of the blue, she had a sezieure- unconscious, eyes wide open, shaking, soiling, the whole enchalada. From beginning to end it lasted 5-7 minutes. . We took ambualance to hospital, they ran tests, said she was fine. Now we are waiting for an apointment with her nurologist.
I guess I'm looking for some reassurance here. I'm not sure what to expect. This really came out of the blue. I'm hoping she will never have another sezieure. Should I keep the plans for WDW? She really loves it there, and seems to thrive, when we are there. The air tickets are non refundable, but we will take the loss if necesary. The reservations are AP rate, and can easily be cancelled.
The research I did said a lot of people with Downs Syndrome have sezieures . It's supposedly a result of the brain aging. Is the brain damaged with a sezieure? I understand if she has more she may have to go on medication to control them.
Our life is far from normal, but I'm wondering if this will change the quality of her life much. This happened a week ago, and so far, so good. Any ideas?
