Yet another scary seizure....and ambulance ride!

Hey Everybody...
Just wanted to let you know that yesterday at 5:30 Parker had another seizure.  When I got to my in-laws to pick Parker up, he was sitting in his highchair and he just wasn't acting right. He had very strange movements to his body and they would come and go.  Still wasn't sure it was a seizure, but also knew at the same time that this wasn't our Parker we were dealing with.  Well it turned bad quick.  I called our pediatrician and he immediately, after listening to Parker on the phone. said that he was in fact seizing and to give him his suppository right away.  And that we did.  When I placed Parker on the floor to see what he would do, he was only walking on his knees, he could not stand up and all that he was saying was "BaBa and GaGa" as if he regressed to 6 months old again.  And it was scary.   Things fly through your mind like "is he going to come out of this, or did we truly just loose all of his vocabulary with this seizure"!  We were transported by ambulance to the Children's Hospital and came home after all of his blood work  came back normal.  They are waiting on the Keppra Level to see how much Parker had in his system at the time of the seizure.  It won't be back for several days.  They didn't admit us last night, because by 10:00 Parker was seemingly normal.  So we are home, and didn't sleep all that much last night.  Parker is back in our room in the pack in play.....I am beginning to think that he likes our room better than his own.  We have a lot to learn about seizures today!  My father in law was able to get video this time of Parkers' seizure so thank God we have something to present to our neurologist.  We have been waiting for that moment of opportunity to present itself and that it did!  We have a 10:00 appt with the muscle doctor this morning at the Children's Hospital, and they will take some x-rays of Parkers' legs to let us know his personal opinion on the locking up of his muscle groups....and get this...his doctor's name is "Dr. Locke"! How appropriate.  As you all know our sweet baby Parker will be two tomorrow!  We aren't having a big party this year for him because of the circumstances! The doctor thinks that it is best to not over stimulate him!  Please just keep on praying for our little man.....we need some extra prayers this week!!!
Love In Christ,

  3. Praying that everything will be figured out. I know how hard it must be to be so patient, but you are truly being a wonderful mother and seem to be holding yourself together so well. I hope Parker celebrates his birthday well with his family and is able to have a peaceful day without pain. Let me know if there is anything at all we can do for you!
