March, 2003

Today is March 21st and it is 10 months since your accident. A lot has happened this past month and there is so much I do not understand and I fear the not knowing. Several weeks ago on a Wednesday, it was approximately 4 p.m. when you had your first seizure. Debbie timed it at 45 seconds from the time she walked in the room and she diagnosed it. I was never so scared as I was that day. To see you shaking and breathing irratically and your eyes going every which way was devastating. I felt so bad for Debbie because she was so sick that day and she was doing everything she could to help you. I stayed until 9:30 so I could make sure you were okay. We went for a cat scan the following week and the news was good. The cat scan did not show any seizure activity or swelling, bleeding and fluid. We were so glad for the news and prayed it would never happen again. Unfortunately, it did. We had gone to see a Neurologist who wanted to prescribe seizure medicine but because he could not say for sure you would have another one we opted to wait. I prayed that it would not happen again but my prayers were not answered. Several weeks later you had another seizure much worse than the one before that lasted one minute and they described it as violent.
