Too Many Seizures

Weslee was admitted to a hospital just last week but he got worse.  Just take a look at my calendar where I tried to keep track of his seizures:



Multiple seizures at home:








Off to the ER/ED/Hospital:

Just looking at the vid with no context, it appears Weslee is listening to a vid on his phone and laughing about it.

Now look at his eyes and his mouth movements.





Hospital E.R.

Weslee started throwing up (which he rarely does) and having a huge cluster of seizures. I became extremely concerned so I somehow got him down the stairs and out the door.

He was there for quite a while, as they had troubles getting the seizures under control too. 

Part of the problem was that one of his seizure meds wasnt registering in his blood. Turns out, he MUST take the brand version and never again generic.










W's nose is doing better

Weslee is looking better. His nose swelling is going down and the gash, although still slightly leaking, is healing. His body still hurts.

Meeting with his epileptologist's office in a few hours. Going to discuss a change of meds, treatment options, and/or testings.
BTW...we are both coughing. Will get a CoVid test later this week.



ER says broken nose from TC

Broken nose. Has a sliver that splintered off. Can't do anything until nose heals and swelling goes down. He is 'terrified' about it. No stitches; just steri-strips.

Back home and sleeping. Promised to order in food after he sleeps a good chunk. Might as well, since we have both been exposed to CoVid, and are now quarantining.
Last post for a while. Going to sleep too!!



Still at ER for nasty TC

Finally taken back to be examined at 7:15 a.m.!! Yes, over 9 hours in the waiting room. Damn pandemic.

Nose still bleeding but nurse says prob no stitches. Drawing blood now.
We are sooo tired and just want our beds. I still have all of that blood to clean up.
Ugh.







Bad TC tonight so we are at Emergency

Sitting in the emergency room. Weslee had a tonic clonic (grand mal) seizure tonight...at 9:49 ... for four minutes. Was in the bathroom and fell against the door so I couldn't get to him. Banged face on floor (we think ... he doesn't remember) so I have lots of blood to clean up when we get home. His nose will probably need stitches. Blood in hair; not sure if there is a cut or if it is residual.

Post ictal phase lasted almost an hour. He is still slurring. He has had another six seizures (diff kinds) since we got here.
Hope they take us back soon. Been here almost three hours. Full waiting room and many people are coughing. Prob CoVid.
