So I have been really, really bad about updating this blog. We're busy. That's my excuse. I'll try to get better.
It turns out the neurologist is not entirely convinced that Isaiah is/was having seizures. In lieu of putting Isaiah through (potentially traumatic for him and quite expensive) tests, we have decided to monitor his staring spells. If we notice him zone out, we are supposed to pinch his finger. Should he respond, his staring spell is realted to his autism. Should he not responds, back to the neurologist we will go.
We're good with this decision. We have noticed so much progress with Isaiah over the last few months, with very few staring spells. It seems the time that he has them, he has a cold or is tired - and he responds when we pinch him (in a loving, yet please-respond-so-we-know-you're-not-seizing way).
