So, we have had a very crazy month.
Oct. 20th, Thomas had a seizure in the car (1st time ever) while he and Grace were on the way to school with their Dad.
They had to take him to the ER at Baptist East, and he got an IV and blood work and CT. All was normal. They said a lot of times it is a 1 time thing. So, we never really told many people. (Grace was there for the whole thing, except the CT. Scary.)
Then, last Wednesday, Thomas had another seizure in class at Co-Op, with his cousin Tyler. Tyler said he asked Thomas a question about his backpack, and he answered, and then fell out of his chair. He wasn't hurt luckily.
Bill and Sam took him back to the ER, this time to Kosair Brownsboro.
The dr there ran an EKG, also normal. They let us go home again, but scheduled an EEG this past Monday Morning. Then a follow up Tuesday at a neurologist, which Grace attended with us.
The EEG was abnormal, showing signs of seizure...um..gee really? Anyway...
The Neurologist said that basically, Thomas has seizures now, and will likely have more. He has put him on Keppra, which should help prevent or at least reduce the frequency of the seizures.
There will also be an MRI done next Thursday the 19th, just to be safe.
Needless to say, we have all been very off track this last month. In the middle, we paused to have my birthday and Fall Festival and Halloween... Thomas seems fine otherwise. So, Praising God for that!!
