Sixteen Seizures

Lex had one crazy day (and it's not even over yet!). The craziness began at around 11:00 when Lex broke his 42 hour seizure-free streak by having a desatting seizure. He went on to have 16 seizures over the next 2 1/2 hours. After the first four he was given Ativan but it had no effect, so they ended up trying a second dose. The first time he had seizures this frequently (1 wk and 2 days ago) he didn't respond to Ativan either of the times he was given it, so I was sure that giving him a second dose of Ativan this time wouldn't help. But that was me being silly and trusting myself instead of trusting God. He had instant relief after the second dose and has not had any seizures since, Praise Jesus. He did, however, develop a fever tonight which was discovered at around 8:00 p.m. to be at 100.5. They are doing blood and urine cultures so naturally the nurses have been aggravating him to death with needles and catheters through the evening. But he has taken it wonderfully and just been so tough through it all. He's resting now and we're praying for another great and peaceful night for him.
