Seizures

Last night just as Junior was finishing his treatments I heard his breathing change. Kind of sounded like he was snorting which can be a sinus /asthma thing or is also what he does in a seizure. I took a close look and sure enough he was in a seizure. Not a typical seizure in fact not like one I have seen before. I did what I typical do for his seizures and put my hand on his chest and talked to him. It didn't work and the seizure increased in intensity. At minute 4 it was time for Diastat and by minute 6 it had done the job and the seizure had nearly stopped. Junior went into a deep sleep, I got him to bed and onto his bipap and he slept until 10am this morning. I hope and pray that was the first and last I see of those type seizures.

Junior is still a bit groggy this morning but is smiling so that is a very good sign. Please pray for no more seizures.

I"m sorry. Seizures scare me so badly. I'm glad that you are so in tune with Junior's body that you can help him.
