Jul 13: Heat vs Seizures

We had a pretty mild winter here in Kentucky. Snow only a few times. Below freezing less than a handful. Weslee and I thought maybe we will have a mild summer as well.

Yeah.

No.

We had high 80s low 90s before summer even officially started. Here we are, just 3 weeks later, and Friday temp was 97! 

Unfortunately, I had two errands that I absolutely needed to do on Friday. I took a bottle of water with me so I thought I would be fine. By the time I got home, I had mild heat exhaustion. Had it before 5 or 6 times in my life, so I recognized it. Did what I could do, and finally made it upstairs to check on Weslee, and to lay down.

With the temp being so high INSIDE this place, he felt a bit fried too. Also had been having seizures for hours. No tonic clonics, thank goodness, but a mass of his smaller ones, like absense, gelastic, and tonic without the clonic.

Since his safe space is his bed, and he is supposed to stay there while I am gone, he didn't fall during any of them.

But these seizures, especially the absense, lasted all through Saturday. As Sunday's dawn approaches, I hope the seizures will be back to normal today.

He can't handle the heat any more than I can.  Really hope the little a/c units get here this coming week. Having downstairs be 15-20 degrees cooler than upstairs is ridiculous.

Will keep you posted.

Mar 31: Sickness and Storms

Turns out that not only did Weslee come down with a cold, but I did too. My health is a mess, so I wasn't surprised when a 'fever headache' reared its ugly head. We both took cold medicine, and slept a lot. Glad it didn't last long. We are feeling a bit better.

As to the storms portion of our program, we were hit first with the tornado warning signal. The siren is located pretty close to home, so we expect to hear it every Tuesday at noon; this one was NOT scheduled. Lasted about 20 minutes with no rain even. 

By the time I gave up puzzling over it, the wind galed in. Massive raindrops (or hail) pummelled us for about 30 minutes, then the faucet turned off. That is what it felt like. Somebody playing around up there.

Will check the patio and car tomorrow. 

Stay safe.
