Just Stroll-ing Along . . .

My first horrifying experience as a mother happened on Monday night, as I watched Joshua turn purple and have a seizure on Kayla's bedroom floor. It lasted maybe 20 seconds, but seemed an eternity. As soon as it stopped and he went limp, I scooped him in my arms and ran for Brian. He took Josh to the ER right away, and as soon as Mar came to stay with Kayla I left to meet him there. We spent 4 hours there with our little boy, who was exhausted and was poked & prodded. After instructions to increase his medication, we arrived home after midnight and I spent yesterday on the phone with his neurologist's office, trying to get him an appointment.
The last seizure he had was either in September or October -- supposedly it happened because they were trying to wean him off his medication. He has been at the same level since then, and my guess is the seizure happened because he is growing and the medication had not been increased. That's my hope, anyway.
He seems to be acting normally, and will see his neurologist on Friday afternoon. I don't know what they will do -- maybe some tests, who knows. All I know is that Monday night was very scary and I hope it doesn't happen again for a very long time.
