A second major seizure today

Apologies for a second update in one day, but we have just received a phone call from the ward to say that Abigail has had another major fit this afternoon lasting 45 minutes to an hour. She was again given high doses of anti-convulsants to bring the seizure under control. Moves are definitely now afoot to transfer Abby to the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Woolwich where she has been based for much of her life. Staff there are much more aware of her history, fitting and medication regime than Lewisham. Clearly though, Abby cannot be moved until relatively stable. This evening she is very likely to be moved up to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit where she will receive one-to-one nursing and monitoring. Later today doctors will decide on the next course of action for Abby’s care.
