Gabriel got to ride to the hospital in the ambulance, once again. He had several small (under 2 minutes) seizures at home today. We loaded in the car and started toward the hospital. After a phone disucssion with our new doctor we decided to try and manage it at home. He said that if Gabriel had another seizure over 5 minutes to call 911 and come on in. We stopped at QuikTrip to get a drink on the way home. G had a 7 minute seizure in the parking lot. So we called 9-1-1 again. This time Chuck road in the ambulance with Gabriel and I ran home to get a couple things we thought we might need. It is so strange to be living a life that includes sending my child off in an ambulance and not being totally freaked out and nervous.

We aren’t entirely sure how many seizures he had today…around 10. 3 over 5 minutes. They are finishing loading him with some good drugs and said we can go home. Again, I find it crazy that I want to go home, instead of staying at the hospital.

The nurse just came with the discharge papers.

G has had 2 seizures this morning. The first was short. The second was over 5 minutes so we had to give him the super strong stuff.  He was restless for a few minutes but now he is sleeping. I am praying that we are done with seizures for the day.

Natalie Grant’s song…Better Hands Now popped in my head this morning right after his first seizure.I am sure there is an easier way to share this song but since I am new blogging…..Here is a link to a youtube with the lyrics….

G had a seizure this morning 🙁 Super Bummer. It was a little one. We are hoping it was due to the lack a sleep from a couple nights ago when he was wide awake and playing most of the night. OR that since he spit of the medicine out last night. (Both could be logical reasons or just grasping at straws).
My prayer is that it is just 1. Ever since the last episode where we had 20 in one day and ended up in the hospital for 4 days has made us worry about would happen when/if the next seizure came.
Super Bummed about this one this morning for a variety of reasons. We were starting to feel kind of normal again….or new normal.
