Hey folks, I was away this weekend and called my wife at home to have her start this thread.
I just got in and got the quads unloaded so I am heading to the hospital to sit with Scott and Sherry. I will let them know how many replies there have been to this thread. Keep them in your prayers and I will fill you in when I get home from the hospital.

Just got back from the hospital. They still have no idea why Colton is having seizures. The Dr is leaning towards 'Infantile Spasms" which from what I understand is basically what they call seizures when they don't know why your having them.
They have done a catscan,spinaltap,ekg and a few more tests all to no avail. Tomorrow Colton will have an MRI and hopefully they will be able to figure out what is causing this.
I told Scott and Sherry about everyone's replies here and they thank everyone. They ask that you keep praying.

To better understand what is happening
Petit mal seizure
A petit mal seizure is a temporary disturbance of brain function caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain and characterized by abrupt, short-term lack of conscious activity ("absence") or other abnormal change in behavior.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Petit mal seizures occur most commonly in people under age 20, usually in children ages 6 to 12. They may occur in combination with other types of seizures.
Typical petit mal seizures last only a few seconds, with full recovery occurring rapidly and no lingering confusion. Such seizures usually manifest themselves as staring episodes or "absence spells" during which the child's activity or speech ceases.
The child may stop talking in mid-sentence or cease walking. One to several seconds later, speech or activity resume. If standing or walking, a child seldom falls during one of these episodes.
"Spells" can be infrequent or very frequent, occurring many times per hour. Up to hundreds of seizures can occur in a single day. They may occur for weeks to months before they are noticed. They can interfere with school function and learning. Teachers may interpret these seizures as lack of attention or other misbehavior.
Atypical petit mal seizures begin slower, last longer, and may have more noticeable muscle activity than typical petit mal seizures. There is usually no memory of the seizure.
No cause can usually be found for typical petit mal seizures. No neurologic or other disorders are usually discovered. Atypical seizures may or may not be associated with other neurologic disorders.
Causes may be unidentifiable, or identified as congenital brain abnormalities, complications of kidney or liver disease, or brain injuries from trauma or birth complications. Sometimes, a family history of seizures indicates a hereditary type of seizures.
Symptoms
TYPICAL
Muscle activity changes
No movement
Hand fumbling
Fluttering eyelids
Lip smacking
Chewing
Consciousness changes
Staring episodes (unintentional)
Lack of awareness of surroundings
Sudden halt in conscious activity (movement, talking, etc.)
May be provoked by hyperventilation or flashing lights, in some cases
Abrupt beginning of seizure
Each seizure lasts no more than a few seconds
Full recovery of consciousness, no confusion
No memory of seizure
ATYPICAL
Atonic seizure
No muscle movement
Slumping, loss of posture
Loss of muscle tone
Falling down
Consciousness changes
Unintentional staring
Lack of awareness of surroundings
Sudden stop of conscious activity (movement, talking, etc.)
Hand fumbling
Fluttering eyelids
May be provoked by hyperventilation, in some cases
May have slower, gradual beginning of seizure
Each lasts only seconds to minutes
Recovery may be slower
May have short period of confusion or bizarre behavior
No memory of seizure
Note: Unexplained difficulties in school and learning difficulties may be the first indication of petit mal seizures.
Signs and tests Return to top
The physical examination is usually normal, although some neurologic abnormalities may be present in some patients.
Transmission of information from nerve cell to nerve cell occurs by an electrochemical process that can be detected as electrical activity by an electroencephalograph (EEG). A single or multiple EEG exams may be necessary to show changes typical of petit mal seizures. Occasionally, a patient may need to have EEG monitoring from 1 to several days to detect these EEG changes.
Various laboratory tests, a head CT scan, or a head MRI may be used to rule out specific causes of the seizures.
Treatment Return to top
As seizures can interfere with learning or result in injury, the goal of treatment is to prevent or minimize the number of seizures and to minimize any side effects of the treatments. In some cases, treatment of identifiable causes may reduce or eliminate seizures.
Anticonvulsant (antiseizure) medications may prevent or minimize the number of seizures. Petit mal seizures usually respond to valproic acid, ethosuximide, clonazepam, and certain other drugs. Response to medications varies and the medication and dosage may have to be adjusted repeatedly. For some drugs, monitoring of plasma drug levels is important for continued control of seizures and reduction of medication side effects.
Absence status epilepticus (multiple, frequently-repeated seizures) may be treated with intravenous medications and other treatments.
Support Groups Return to top
A resource you may find helpful is the American Epilepsy Society.
Expectations (prognosis) Return to top
Almost all children with petit mal seizures have significantly fewer (or no) seizures with the use of medications. Petit mal seizures may stop spontaneously after the child reaches adulthood, they may continue indefinitely, or the person may progress to a grand mal seizure.
Long-term prognosis depends on whether there are any underlying neurological problems or other seizure types in addition to the petit mal seizures.
Most people with petit mal seizures live a fairly normal life, with few restrictions on school activities or social life. As adulthood approaches, restrictions may be placed on driving or operating dangerous machinery if seizures continue.
Complications Return to top
Learning disabilities
Absence status epilepticus
Injury from falls
Injury caused by seizure during driving/operating machinery
Side effects of medications (with or without symptoms)
Progression to generalized tonic-clonic seizure
Calling your health care provider Return to top
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if a seizure lasts longer than 2 to 3 minutes or if there is no history of previous seizures. This is an emergency situation.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if symptoms of absence status epilepticus occur:
Prolonged changes in mental status such as confusion or poor responsiveness
Prolonged seizure activity/unconscious activity and automatic behaviors (people may eat or move without being aware of where they are or what they are doing)
This may be an emergency situation.
Call your health care provider if this is the first time the person has had seizures.
Call your health care provider if this is a new type of seizure for the person or if other types of seizures begin occurring.
Call your health care provider if any new symptoms occur, including possible side effects of medications such as changes in mental status (drowsiness, restlessness, confusion, sedation or others), nausea and vomiting, rash, loss of hair, tremors or abnormal movements, rash, fevers, or problems with coordination.

thank you all soo much, we need all the prayers we can get for our little man. The Dr. is leaning toward as Mike mentioned Infentile spasms with a 50/50 recovery rate free of mental retardation sometimes savere. I cant tell you how much this means to Sherry and I, Colton needs you all so much right now. There is also another child in much worse shape than Colton in this room and his family cannot be with him for finacial resons. His name is Borise and we have prayed for him as much as Colton, Please extend the prayers for little Borise as well. I have to thank Mike for coming to see us it meant soo much and goes to show what kind of great people there are in this forum. Thank you all again and God bless you all.
We will keep you all informed as we have access to a computer in the hospital.
sorry for the spelling...no sleep
