Another Day Another Hill to Climb

Well, she looked like my daughter, and then she had this awfully long seizure.  I gave the valium and then after 25 minutes I gave another dose because the seizure was as strong as ever.  It  was 20 more minutes before the seizure finally stopped.  Emily’s had 3 large seizures in 24 hours. 

I called the neurologist office and the nurse took my information.  She got back to me an hour later with instruction as to which medicines to increase.  And then, after lots of prayer, and increases in medications, in the evening I had my daughter back again. 

The doctor is thinking that the surgery just took a toll on her.  And if she did have an illness that could have certainly caused increased seizures.  Hoping for a much better day today. 

We were supposed to go to infusion clinic to change the dressing on Emily’s PICC line today.  But after talking to them I was told that someone would come to our home to change the dressing.  I am so thankful! 

I didn’t know how Emily was going to make it with a one hour drive there, 1/2 hr in the clinic, and a one hour drive back.  Her leg/hip may not survive the drive without more pain issues.  The day is looking better already!

Thanks for all your prayers.  And thanks for listening ~
