Sunday, Sunday

You know I am really hating these seizures or episodes that he is having. This morning just after 4am his O2 dropped down to 78% and he looked like he was having a stroke his heart rate was in the high 180's. Thankfully I didn't have to shove any crappy meds in to him to stop it. That one lasted about 2.5 mins. So that was over I got back to my book. Yeah, yeah I read trashy novels. Well its either that or looking up stuff on the computer to keep me awake.
At 4:56am he had another seizure this time a tonic one. The poor lad screamed and you know it had to hurt. His poor legs were a straight as a boards and his toes pointed his arms were contracted. It was about a minute long but seemed longer.
The rest of the day was a sleepy one for him and at times he was having O2 dips but they wouldn't last very long.
You know at first when he was just having the seizures at home you kind of get antsy as you wonder is it something in his home environment that is causing them but when he has them other places then you know you are not crazy. You know if they brought us in to the EMU and hooked him up he would more than likely not have any.
Oh well another thunder storm just rolled through lets see what the rest of the night brings.
