Appointments & Smiles

Yesterday Junior struggled with his asthma as he tried to recover from his seizure.  He was very quiet and not up to much.  He had some fever in the evening which wasn't all that unexpected since it seems to be his pattern with weather change and seizures.
A bumpy night last night but today he has been much better. He has been in a great mood, lots of smiles, and less oxygen.

This morning we headed to Sacramento to see his neurologist. All is well and his seizures are fairly controlled(for Junior).  He is having some break through seizures but they are all being triggered by weather or illness.  The big issue is his lungs reaction to his seizures.  He goes into broncho spasm which leads to major breathing issues.  After talking to the doctor we decided to try adding something else to our after seizure protocol and see if it helps.  He suggested caffeine.  He thinks it will help with the broncho spasms and keep Junior from going into such a deep sleep which makes the situation with the broncho spasms even worse.  So Junior will get half of a cup of coffee or tea after his next seizure.

A very happy kid after getting home from the doctor today.
 
This afternoon before starting Junior's treatments I was seeing if one of his favorite shows was on tv.  He used to love to watch the Lone Ranger but we hadn't been able to find it on tv for awhile.  Today I happened upon an episode playing and Junior was sooooo excited.  Clearly he still loves it. 

Someone has decided he doesn't want to go to bed tonight.  It is far more fun to hang out on his mat with Spidey, play with his cars, and watch tv.
