It turns out that the crying from Tuesday is due to a UTI. We got her blood work done yesterday (still waiting to hear final results on that), but her urinalysis showed infection. She started Keflex this evening, as well as the hydrocortisone that the Endocrinologist wanted her to take in times of sickness due to being on the prednisone for so long. (Read here for more on that if you're not sure what I'm talking about.) I'm still not sure if the crying was from pain from the UTI, or if the UTI was causing seizures that caused the crying. We feel like we've seen a few seizures in her the past few days, but not Infantile Spasms. But again, we aren't sure, so they may not have been. If so, I believe they are due to the UTI and they should clear up as she's feeling better. I'm so thankful they haven't been worse, as I know seizures accompany any type of illness or pain in kids with her syndrome.
So, hopefully this is the answer to why she's been having weird symptoms for her and why she's just been off for a few days, and hopefully we can get this cleared up without any problems. Thanks for the prayers, as always!
