First I will ask my question then there is some background info, My 8 year old daughter says she can not see, she says everything is black. Is there a test to determine if she can see or not without her cooperation? I am being told her not seeing is "behavioral". Here is the background of her- My 8 year old had a virus at the end of June, she was not getting better and was hospitalized. She complained of back ache, headache and leg aches. She stopped walking and says she can't see. Many tests have been run and all have come back normal. She was having we thought were seizures but after 2 EEGs (one was the 24 hour one) we were told they were psudeoseizures. So now my 8 year old that was perfectly fine in June was placed in a in patient psych hospital. It was devastating. Now my daughter is home and on 3 different medications, she is seeing someone once a week. Although since shes left the hospital she has been in a much better mood, and is eating well again and sleeping well, she still says she can't see, and can not walk by herself. No one seems to know anything. She did not have any tramatic experiences, all this started on a beach vacation, and they only that did upset her was her grandmother who said some mean things to her, and then an hour or so later, her "back pain" started. Could all of these come from that?? The dr told me I love her to much, I don't allow her to have feelings, I make her happy all the time and therefore she does not know how to "cope". I need some answers, like will this go away with medication and therapy? I mean school is starting soon and this poor kid who was normal and fine in June, now can't walk or see! Everyone has told me that they have never seen anything like this before. Everyone meaning the drs. My poor child was been in the hospital for nearly 2 months, almost 1 month in a locked unit, and still no answers. We are extremely happy to have her home with us, but its sad to watch her Tae Kwon Do video where she was kicking and jumping and to see her now, its heart breaking. Can anyone offer us any hope that this will pass? Will we ever get our little girl back? If anyone can offer any advice or suggestions it would be much appreciated. Thank you.
