    My boy in Hospital Again

    Monday, June 23, 2008, 03:51 AM [General]

    Last night my husband and I had planned to go and see the Socceroos play but we never made it into the ground. Mike's parents called us before we got to the gates to tell us James had had another seizure. It's been almost 2 years since his last one.

    The really worrying thing was that James didn't even have a high temperature.

    It was a temperature spike that caused the last one and the doctor said that sometimes kids who have grown out of infantile epilepsy (like james) can have it resurge at puberty. Well James is just that age (and starting to grow a little moutache - can you believe it?).

    We caught a taxi from the stadium to the hospital (cost us a fortune!) and then after about 3 hours of observations they let us go home. He is off school for a few more days and we will have to go to his pediatrition for more tests on Thursday. My husband had today off work and I have tomorrow off - we are hoping he will be well enough for school on Wednesday so we can both go to work. Mike is in the middle of a huge project, and the company I work for has huge troubles replacing educators for time off. I was very lucky to get Tomorrow.

    So anyway, the short of it is - I'm exhausted, and so is Mike. There will be no energy for creative things for a little while.
