Unexplained Seizure

This week really had it's ups and downs. On Monday, John was standing up and bearing most of his own weight. I was mostly just helping him balance. By Wednesday afternoon he was having a seizure then being rushed to the hospital. The ambulance ride seemed like an eternity and I wasn't sure if he was going to make it. Once at the hospital they gave him something that pretty much knocked him out for the next 12 hours. As usual many tests were ordered. His neurologist reviewed everything and admitted that he felt stumped. He wanted to present John's case at a meeting with his colleagues on Friday to further review and discuss. I was very hopeful that this team of doctors would be able to put their heads together and provide some answers. After the meeting I was given the news that sometimes "we just don't have an answer" He said that they all agreed that what is going on in John's brain is unusual and impressive but they can't figure out why. I cannot accept this as a final answer!!! Someone, somewhere has to know what is happening. I will not give up until I find that someone, I'm not sure where to start looking. Right now I am trying to recuperate from sleep deprivation, stress. worry, and anxiety. I am open to ideas, suggestions, and recommendations. Prayers are always appreciated.
