Coral

Coral - oh Coral - we have had a rough time with Coral. After she received her mid-term grades and we realized how much her grads had fallen, we knew something was up. At first I thought it might have something to do with the additions of family members, but after talking with her more, that didn’t seem to be the concern. So I called the school, spoke with her guidance counselor, talked with Shane and Brian and then came to the conclusion that maybe we should take her to the doctor. Good thing we did...she has been diagnosed with seizures. She mad an EEG on Thursday and an MRI on Friday. We will return to the neurologist on this Thursday to have the final diagnosis of exactly what type of seizure and where it is coming from in the brain. He feels confident that she has temporal lobe seizures, which is the same type my dad has. UGH! She is struggling with not being able to take drivers education this summer. She wasn’t ready last year and now that she is, she cant. She will have to have her seizures under control for a year before she can get her permit. Hard for a girl who is less then 45 days from turning 16 to take. Boys basketball 9which she managed) is over as is dance, so we need to find something else to keep her busy.
