Hospital Visit

So here is Dustin hanging out at Strong Hospital getting an EEG on him. Let me tell you a little bit about what happened. Dustin has had februial seizures since he was 4 1/2 which means he has a seizure with a fever. since this christmas school break he has had about 6 seizures but they have not all been related to fevers. we knew something was up so we had an appt on feb 3 to see his pediatric neurologoist, i guess dustin wanted to see him sooner cause at school on thurs the 29th he has a seizure but this time it was catergorized as a grand mal seizure, which means he went blank, rigid and shoke. all this took place in the nurses office. he was taken by ambulance where i (michele) met him there, after they gave him some meds we waited for about 2 hrs before he really came out of it, then they took him in ambulance to strong childrens hopsital and admitted him on the neurology floor. they did a cat scan, an mri and the eeg. scan and mri came back fine but the eeg was abnormal more than usual for him so they diagnosed him with seizure disorder or epilepsy. it is being regulated with meds and he should be able to live a normal life. we have to have lab work done every 3 mths and then in 2 yrs they will reevaluate what is happening. so that was the excitement of the week. grandma brice (darlene) came in to help in case it was worse and to give me a break so it has been fun having her around.
