Devin's Turn!

Yep - you guessed it. That's Devin at Baptist Hospital this morning! Tuesday afternoon he had some sort of seizure like activity. He remembers feeling "funny", getting up to get a drink of water, then he was on the floor. No one is real sure what happened because he was at teh neighbors house babysitting for a 2 year old and a 5 year old. He suffered from a subictal state (wooziness and confusion post seizure) for about 2-3 hours and was left with quite the knot on the side of his head - presumably where he hit his head on the counter going down.

So - we spent the morning today at Baptist Hospital where he underwent an EEG. His doctor said if the EEG was normal that we'd let it go as a one-time thing and monitor him. But - if it showed any abnormality she'd schedule him with Neurology. Well, he had difficulty with the deep breathing - they make you take deep fast breaths in/out for 3 minutes straight! He also struggled through the strobe lights. By the time it was over he was a bit dizzy, but otherwise OK. We weren't out of Baptist an hour and the phone rang . . . sure enough we're off to neurology.

His neurology appointment is currently scheduled for October 30th at Baptist. He's on the top of the cancellation list because he's a minor - so if an appointment opens sooner he'll take that one. Until then . . . we wait . . . and pray!


Through it all - he's still smiling. We had to buzz his head last night - his gorgeous hair is now gone! I have to admit I was somewhat sad! Today he even let me take a picture of him with all the wires attached to his head! Although I'm not sure he'll be too happy that I put it on the website for all to see!
