My son is 4 months old. When he was 2 days old he had 3 seizures all about 7 hours about. They said he was dehydrated and had low calcium. He spent 10 days in the NICU getting calcium supplements and being on Phenobarbatol. All the scans came back normal. He has an CT, MRI, EKG, Spinal tap, and tons of blood work. At one point his Parathyroid hormone level was at 256, they checked it a few days later and it was 14 so they thought the 256 was a fluke. Once he was a couple months old we noticed his eyes were alwasy moving, rapid eye movement in all directions. He also couldnt focus on anything. His nuerologist thought he was blind so he sent us to a opthamologist. He said he was not blind and his eyes are fine and that he may be crossed eyed. so by 3 months he was off the phenobarbatol and they were weaning him off the calcium. On July 26th his Fontanelle (soft spot) on top of his head was bulging. I was told to take him to the ER The did another CT, and MRI and found no fluid, no tumor.
