Seizure
I had a seizure last night. Mikey had woken up in the middle of the night so I went in to get him back to sleep. While he I was in there, Michel heard me cry out and when she ran in I was having a seizure.
I was thrashing about and even pushed Mikey out of the bed. He went in and slept with Beth and Michel waited for me stop and then got me into bed. I kept insisting that I was fine and that I didn’t have a seizure but the lack of memory of the event is common in epileptic seizures.
I have felt awful all day, mostly exhausted. I slept until noon but I think I could have slept for about 24 hours.
We increased the dosage of my medication and I’m hoping that will make the difference. The doctor said that the dosage I was on was relatively low and since I have had no side-effects, increasing the dosage should not be a problem.

Well that sucks. Hope you are feeling better soon and that the medication tinkering works.

Those pictures pretty much tell the story…but Tom didn’t start seizing until I entered the room. And he knocked Mikey out of bed. The poor kid went flying…and he witnessed part of the seizure because I couldn’t leave Tom. Had to make sure he was safe. Isn’t is nice to have a RN in the house?
If the meds don’t work, I’m going to institute the smack in the head protocol
