T&P again...

It's me again 
I posted information on the logistics of how the swing accident occurred on the original thread late this afternoon. After one night at home we're back in the ER waiting to be admitted.
LO did fairly well, except for sleeping 90% of the day, which is excessive for him. One of the symptoms the neuro department told us to watch for was excessive sleepiness or fussiness, but I chalked it up to being worn out since we hadn't noticed anything else abnormal. Today around 3pm, we noticed some strange rapid/consistent eyelid movement and it happened several times. We actually were able to capture a really good video of him doing it and sent it to the neuro doctor who treated us as well as several of our medical contacts. They told us it was definitely one of the ways classic seizures present themselves in infants and it could be a sign of a subdural bleed. (Apparently infant seizures can each look differently.) So, straight back to the hospital we went. Just had blood work done and a second CT. Showed a stable bleed, but nothing internal again, which is very good news! But, they're trying to figure out what else could be causing the seizures.. Swelling/infection/blood abnormalities/etc. LO will most likely be getting a spinal tap tonight. Poor baby.
Again, sorry this is long. You guys are so awesome! T&P. Thank SO much.
Also, is it possible to upload a video here? I would love to share the video I have so that you mommas can be aware of what we saw in case (heaven forbid) your LOs ever have a fall or anything.
