Randy Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Hi everyone! I know it's been a few weeks since I've been on here so I figure I better stop by and tell you alittle bit about what's going on in my life these days. So, here we go... Last week Tuesday night my son Avery who is 8 years old went to bed about 9 pm. Shortly after 11pm he woke up and went to the bathroom and was acting really odd and threw up. He then complained of a severe headache. He came downstairs and fell asleep on the couch in a matter of minutes. This lasted about 2-3 minutes and the headache was gone as fast as it came. Avery has seasonal allergies and we just figured he threw up from the phlem. Sunday night he did the same thing but he stood on the edge of the tub and hung onto the crossbar for the shower door. His eyes bulged out and a very scary look on his face. I then took him to the ER to find out what was going on. After a few hours there, we were heading to Milwaukee to the childrens hospital at 3am for further test. Avery rode in the ambulance and my wife and I followed in my truck. Once there Avery had MRI's, EEG's, and so many other test I couldn't tell you what they all were. The test showed nothing wrong so, that was good news. To make a long story short, the doctors are telling us that he was more then likely having a type of seizure and they are starting to treat him for them. Neither side has any history of seizures. The doctors started him on meds and they make him very tired but that is supposed to get better with time. He cannot stay awake for a 5 minute ride through town. It breaks my heart to see him like this and I can't do anything about it. I'm having a pretty difficult time with this as I look to the future and think about some of the stuff he may not be able to do. So, if you all could send a little prayer our way, i'm sure it will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
