Okay, I am officially sick of seizures...for ALL OF OUR KIDDOS. Morgan had her first RSV shot this morning and on the way to the ped's office Jack started having a seizure. I almost pulled over to give him diastat but we were almost at the ped's office...I pulled in the parking lot like a hot rod driver, parked crookedly and ran to Jack. He was coming out of it when I got him out of the car seat. We went in (I carried both kids) and I told the nurse Jack just had a seizure. She took us to a room right away and by then Jack was fine, just a little shaky.
Morgan had her shot and we're home now. Jack asked for a hotdog for lunch and seems slightly off, but I have seen this post-ictal state before. I cut his lunch into tiny-smaller-than-toddler bite sizes just in case.
I called the neuro and am waiting on a call back. <-- Wow, that was quick, just answered the phone and he said we'll continue on our current med schedule. I knew this would be the answer, but just wanted to report the seizure. The new med has not had time to kick in yet.
I don't like the uncertainty. I don't like being alone when it happens. I certainly don't like driving when it happens. I don't like not knowing what to do in the moment...call 911? Give diastat? Wait and see? I hate not knowing if it's the start of something bigger or if it'll just fizzle and stay a small seizure. As usual, I will keep you posted.
I am off to make a large pot of coffee and snuggle with my darling kids. My sweet babies who should never know any pain or sickness...I need a tissue now too.
I'm so sorry! Seizures are the worst! I hope you are able to get the seizure meds that will work for Jack. I know sometimes it is a long process and that is really hard. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I am so sorry. Seizures really suck. Hope you get it figured out soon, and spend some time seizure free!
ReplyDeleteHang in there Mommy, I know it's tough, but you're even tougher than those nasty old seizures!
