SEISURE



I woke up at 3:30 a.m. and Darling was as stiff as a board, arms out in front of him and shaking all over.  I tried to pull his arms down and could not.  Tried to talk to him.  After about a minute he stopped shaking and went limp but I could still not get him to focus his eyes on me.  Called 911 and went to hospital.  They asked questions – had he ever done this before?  No.  Had he fallen and hit his head?  No.  They did a CAT scan and said it showed that he had had some small seizures before.  They said it could be caused by a bump on the head – even a bump on the head in the past.  Said sometimes they were never able to find what had caused it.  I decided against anti-seizure medication; he takes about 16 pills a day now; do we need to put one more chemical inside him.  Will talk to the kids about this again.  They may want meds.

Going to Dallas today to celebrate Christmas.  It will be nice.  We will have fun.
