Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Posted August 30, 2006 Hi Jenn, My daughter Lily (6) takes a long time to be reasonable again too after an episode--if we don't treat w/a single dose of prednisolone and she goes through a normal episode she is extremely irritable, whiney and quick to anger for about a week. It is very challenging to deal with. I too have wondered if it is because she gets used to me being " on the couch " with her for days, feeding liquids and reading stories (she gets really freaked out if I leave the room when she is fevering, she really needs to literally hang on to me). I now think though that a lot of it is part of the episode process and recovering her strength takes some time. It helps a bit if I can simplify activities where possible and have early dinner and bed. It's exhausting to deal w/a week of really over the top challenging behavior after four days or so of dealing w/the fever and all it brings. (Lily, 6) Seattle mdefaye@... Quote
