Nick has been having these episodes of falling down...He gets up in the am and sometimes falls down...Then he gets up and does it again. It isn't every morning, but it happened twice in January. We went to the doc both times and they didn't know what was happening...so we waited.
Fast forward to July, happens again while cleaning the church. Someone helps him home and calls me to tell me what happened. We go to the doc again. Still no answer. Other than check his blood sugar when it happens.
So, happens again in august. 3 days in August. Call the Neurologist. Need some other answers. Can't get in for two weeks. She is out of town. Ok...we are safe because it doesn't happen very much. Wrong. It happened the next week 3 of the 4 days. Didn't happen on Labor day...
Finally the doctor appt. Described the symptoms...she said she thought he was having seizures. So prescribed Keppra for him.
So, he takes his Keppra but we need to have an EEG to see what that says. He is having his EEG after only 4 hours of sleep. He had to get up at 4:00 am and stay awake. He couldn't go to sleep until midnight. So that meant I had to stay awake that long too and then drive to Primary Children's Hospital. However, we survived and got the test done.
Got the test results back and it came back that he does in fact have seizure tendencies. So, guess we are on the right track. Stay on the medicine and check back in a month with the Doc. No swimming alone and he probably shouldn't be a pilot.
This was his blood sugar on one of the mornings. He is at normal range according to my friend who has diabetes. That was not the problem.
Then when I dropped him off at Mueller park the next day, here is the rainbow. Couldn't help being taken back to Seminary and I will Build you a rainbow song...and filmstrip
