Just Another Hurdle


Last night John experienced another seizure. At first I wasn't too worried since it seemed much milder than the others. It ended up lasting longer than expected so 911 was alerted. The paremedics medicated him but he did not respond to the medication so the decision was made to transport him to St. Mary's Hospital. Once there, he was given a different medication and the seizure began to subside. He had scans and xrays and by then was stable enough that the doctor decided he would be okay to return home. Today he has been asleep the whole day, barely able to open his eyes. The seizure took all his energy and I'm hoping that tomorrow will be better and his appetite will return. Seeing someone you love getting loaded into an ambulance is never easy, last night was a very long night...
We continue to survive one day at a time. John's had many hurdles in the last few years, but he always finds his way past them. The fundraising is going well and we are getting so close to our goal! John will be following up with his neurologist and hopefully we can stay on track for the stem cells. Thanks for all the kind messages, please continue to cheer him on!
