On Saturday Currier had two seizures. He complained of having an upset stomach and
went into the bathroom and a few minutes later Trent and I heard a loud
crash. I found Currier on the floor with
his head propped against the wall and his eyes rolled back into his head. He woke as soon as I lifted him and then he turned
pale and clammy. As I was wetting a cold
cloth and Trent was getting a thermometer, Currier face planted into the bathroom
door and passed out cold again. He didn’t
lose control of his bowels and he didn’t have convulsions this go around. So although still scary it wasn’t the full
blown seizures like he’s had in the past so we felt comfortable caring for him
at home and not taking him to the ER.
Today I got a call from the school nurse saying that Currier
wasn’t communicating normally and he complained that his brain hurt so Trent
rushed to pick him up and we all met at doctor’s office. After an exam, blood test and urinalysis, Dr.
Davis still thinks these are febrile seizures and not epilepsy. Currier
should grow out of these episodes just as I did as a child. So permission granted to carry on and TRICK or TREAT!
