What a morning !!!!!!!!!!!!

Well our little lad really pulled the rug out from under us this morning. He had what I would say was a seizure but until its caughted on an EEG the medical professionals are only calling it an event. It lasted for about 16 minutes in total. He ended up on oxygen as his heart rate dipped down as low as 38. This was a first for him as his heart usually races during a seizure.
To top it off about an hour later he had a different event one we have seen before but havent seen in a while. We also havent gotten it on EEG so they cannot say its a seizure either. But he has been having this one off and on for about 3 years.With this event his heart rate went up to 189 and his oxygen hovered around 90%. THat was good during this event as his oxygen usually dips much lower.
So now they are working on bringing him in for an EEG to see if they can capture these events. Knowing Finnian they won't get the ones we are trying to figure out if they are seizures. So now we wait and see when we are going in.
