Clinical narrative: Friday November 17, 2006 around 2:00 a.m. I woke up to hear the patient awake. I went into her room and she was laying there with her eyes open. Her body was still and she wasn't alert. She didn't seem to know that I was standing over her bed. I went to pick her up and she jerked back, like a baby does when it thinks it is falling. The patient then went into a full blown seizure.  Her eyes were rolled back into her head and her eye lids were fluttering. Her head as well as her entire body was shaking and jerking. I immediately called 911 and before they got here she was no longer breathing. This all was about a total time of 15 minutes. After arriving at the hospital she had 3 more seizures one of the lasting over 11 minutes. She had a CAT scan done and X-RAY which all cleared as ok. The patient was released on Saturday November 18, 2006 in the a.m. She was discharged on the terms that it was a febrile seizure due to shots. I was told that it was pretty normal and the patient would be alright. The patient returned to her normal routine and seemed to have fully recovered. She had a doctors appointment on Tuesday November 21, 2006 @ 10:30 a.m. MD Said that she was fine had a full recovery. To call if I need anything else. On Monday December 4, 2006 the patient had a normal morning. While I was fixing her lunch I noticed that she seem dazed. She was sitting on the kitchen floor playing on minute, and then the next she was completely dazed. I got down on the floor in front of her and started talking to her. She never responded to anything I said. The patient didn't even look at me. I picked her up and a seizure started again. I laid her on the couch on her side and called MD.  HE said to take her to the emergency room and her would meet me there. The patient's seizure lasted about 5 minutes then I drove here to the emergency room. She was unconscious upon arrival but breathing on her on. While in the emergency room the patient had 4 seizures the shortest one lasting 10 minutes and the longest one lasting 40 minutes. This time the doctors had a hard time getting them to stop. The patient wasn't breathing on her own. We were in the emergency room for over 6 hours before she was stable enough to go to a private room. She under went another CAT scan and X-ray. Which both were fine. She had an EEG which wasn't ok. But due to medication and seizures we knew that it wouldn't be. On Tuesday November 5, 2006. The patient had an MRI, which check out to be ok. Another EEG did not show that she was ok. Tuesday the patient still didn't know who I was or her Father. One other strange thing was the patient wasn't running a fever at the time of any of her seizures but started running one during the time of her hospitalization. On Wednesday  November 6, 2006 the patient was Released in the a.m. from the hospital. She was diagnosed with epilepsy and put on Dilantin every 8 hours. The Doctors are now saying that this had nothing to do with her shots. The patient was a perfectly normal little girl who had never been sick, before she had these shots. Her first set of seizures occurred within 12 hours of her shots. Through research I have done and everything that happened as it did within the timeline of her shots I am at full belief that her vaccines had everything to do with her condition now.  1/9/07 Received medical records from hospital which reveal patient admitted twice: 1. 11/17-11/18/06 -- D/C Diagnosis was complex febrile seizure.
