seizures?

So the calcium, magnesium and all other blood tests all came back normal.  Remember the neurologist said calcium and magnesium can affect seizures.

But the special needs mom I talked to said that her daughters calcium levels always tested normal.  But when she switched from a cal-mag combo to straight cal her seizures got better.

I talked to Ellie's dietician about trying her off the calcium to see if her seizures improved.  SHe said a few weeks wouldn't hurt.  So we stopped her cal-mag a few days ago.  I really think it's helping.  We'll have to give it a little more time, but I think/hope we might have found the problem.

Other than that she is doing well.  She seems to be getting over her cold.
