One of the possibilities???

Over the CNY, MIL meet up with a staff nurse from UK. She shared that in UK she see many cases like Janelle who are having seizures not due to gens. She shared that one of the possibilities is due to assisted vacuum delivery.. Where the skull pressed on the nerve during the delivery process. And they did ops to correct it.

Met up with KKH doctors last week and shared with them about what I heard. 2 out of 2 doctors I spoke to had disagreed with that statement. Doc shared the bones of a newborn baby's skull are soft and flexible, with gaps between the plates of bone. At birth we do see redness on Janelle skull, and according to doc it's may be Fluid that collect in the baby's scalp, or blood may collect beneath the scalp. This may further distort the shape and appearance of the baby's head. Fluid and blood collection in and around the scalp is common during delivery. It will most often go away in a few days. And to convince and put me at peace is that doctor took up the CT scan we did years ago and according to the report there wasn't any nerve is pressed by the skull bones. 

Doc shared that he is not interested to put janelle under any knife as her trigger points is at her arms and facial nerve. If she is to be under the knife, then she will lost her left side controls. And janelle is now well controlled and we wouldn't want to mess her up again. Which I agreed with him. We been through a lot to this stage and may God continue to heals her and guide her teach her on daily improvement.
