So I get a call from Nick's phone after the gym. It was Coach Freck the football coach on the other end. I knew immediately what happened. Nick had a seizure at football and the paramedics were there. He is fine now he said. I told him I would be right there. Brooke and I jumped in the car, with the rescue medication, and headed over to the Football weight room. My heart skipped a beat and was totally sick.
We arrived about 15 minutes later and Brooke ran in. I couldn't run in because I am still hobbling around due to my foot surgery. They thought she was the mom....but then they walked out and met me because I was slower. There was two ambulances and a fire truck in the parking lot, and about 10 paramedics or fireman in the weight room. Coach Freck said they said they were doing a cheer , family, and the boys were like 'COACH;...and Nick was down. Coach Freck said that Nick was having a seizure that lasted for about one minute. The football kids were outside on the stairs. It was the first day of practice so I felt so bad. These boys have been at home on Covid quarantine and the first day out, they end up waiting outside because of Nick's seizure. Nick wanted to go home with his friend Ben...ummm Nope with me.
So, he went home, and I told him he needed to sleep upstairs so I could monitor him. He said ok. I had to go somewhere, so Brooke said she would tend him.
this is how I found Brooke when I got back. . .
This is Nick after the seizure, sleeping.
We got knock on the door about 9:30 at night and this is what we found.
His friend, Tea, (I think thats the spelling) brought them to him . So nice.
I called the Dr. and she said we needed to come in and get some medication change. Obviously the medication isn't working..I sure hope we get the medication figured out. He can't drive for THREE more months. He is so mad and embarrassed. I'm just glad that he didn't have a seizure with his friend on the way home or alone or during a heavy lift.
I feel like its a tender mercy that he is with someone every time it happens. I just hope and pray we can figure his medication out.
