vom-a-licious

Soooo...



Halloween is shaping up to be more on the tricky side...less on the treat.



Trevor has thrown up twice today. I'm happy to report we were able to get his meds in him. And they stayed down for several hours now. That's always my biggest fear. We've never had to use a rescue med. Just thinking about the possibility makes me queasy. And because I'm convinced the random vomiting in the hospital was seizure connected...I've been a little jumpy. But we've seen nothing (other than the vommies) that are making my seizure mommy heart squeeze.



He's been a little grumpy. But not overly.



Mostly he has been doing amazing. Truly amazing! Which is why it just stinks to have another set back.



::sigh::



Oh well...



I suppose it's less of an issue now that I never got 'round to getting the kiddos costumes...

Vomit is the toughest thing for me to deal with. Tougher than blood actually. I just can't handle it.

Hugs Danielle, it's bloody tough and I'm not sure we'll ever get over that 'watching for weird/sz activity' feeling.

I hope it's just settling down activity and all is ok really.

Oh and you (US) guys are sooo much better at Halloween than us, we didn't even think about costumes! a pumpkin and some sparklers, lol!

Keep posting, love reading updates, kt:)

(Oh & Danielle, I'd love to email you re surgery but can't see how to do that other than post a comment, sorry! Got so many questions, I could bug you for years but if you have a minute, tell me how to email you and I will. We are in Limbo-land and not enjoying it one bit)

Hope the day got better. If it's ictal vomiting you would possibly expect to see a stunned face first. Maybe a bit of a mottled face.

Ugh...that just sucks to have to worry about. Maybe it's a bug? You know when Julia went through her round two hospital stay she was throwing up every day...we never really did figure out why. Fingers crossed that it passes and ends up being one of those "wow, that was weird" things.

I'm with Ken...Give me blood anyday over the throw-ups...I just gag away!!!! Not to mention the TOTAL PANIC that comes from not keeping the Rx down!!!

I know what you mean about the rescue meds...I have the Diastat Gel on hand, but I have never had to resort to it (KNOCK ON WOOD!) Our rescue Rx is 10-15 mg. of Valium, which USUALLY works extremely well (KNOCK ON WOOD AGAIN!)...But I don't even like to give THAT!

I hope things improve with Trevy's little tummy....Sounds like, other than that, he is doing really well!

Danielle, So sorry about the puke! I hope that today has been better and that Trevy will keep meds and food DOWN where they belong. :) And of course... praying for no seizures.
Hugs,

The girls were all set for Halloween...then Mommy canceled due to rain.

Sure, I got the, "But mom, we really want some candy!" bit, so I appeased them with going to Walmart and buying them a ton of candy. Better to spend the money on candy than on doctor visits I think!

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
