What Could Happen in 72 Hours?

In 72 hours Robby has been through the following:

Tuesday: A touch of the stomach bug = poopy diapers
Wednesday: Slight fever, then a generalized tonic seizure occured with nonna (my mom) while Maddy and I were running errands. 2-3 minutes and then right to sleep.
Thursday: Unexplained rash after daycare
Today: Pediatrician and Neurologist think the rash was viral and not due to increase in seizure meds.

The rash looked awful all over his back. In fact I thought it was bruises at first then when I realized it was a rash I freaked because it was the thing Dr. Boo told us to look out for with the increase in Lamictal. And that the rash could be dangerous. Dr. Boo said she is happy with him on the Lamictal, it is usually the one seizure med that works well for people who have been on a lot of different ones in the past and that it is the best for Robby. We will have to increase the dose again on Sunday to get him to a higher level quicker.
As she said sometimes parents never get used to seizures and I feel like that may be the case for me. I'm never gonna get used to them!

So a lot of issues, but thankfully he is ok.

Maddy is getting out of school early today as we have a HUGE snowstorm headed our way!

I'll update soon. Thanks!
