One of the worst things about epilepsy is the not knowing when a seizure is going to happen. Every time we come home, we don't know what we will be walking into. We have annual trip we take to Chicago for our anniversary, this was the first year we did not go. We could not leave him.
However, I occasionally have to travel for work. I had committed to present a conference and needed to leave. Part of me wanted to be able to get away and leave the stress behind for just a little while.
My husband came home today to find the house a disaster with 3 different places in the house showing evidence of seizures, urine and foam. Spike was agitated and would not stop pacing for hours. I was on the other side of the country and completely powerless to do anything.
At 9 pm, Spike had a 4th seizure. Scott gave Spike Valium rectally which stop the seizure immediately and loaded him into the car to take him back to the hospital. They placed him on a Valium IV drip to stop the seizures and we will have to wait to hear from the Neurologist in the morning.
