Wow - wild night

Have you ever had one of those times when you had an awful feeling? Like something seriously NOT GOOD is going to happen? I've had one for the past two days. It got pretty strong yesterday and Mom entered my mind – why? I don't know – but I called her. She tells me she has an appointment with her neurologist next week – she just decided it's been about a year, and she needs to see him. I figured that was it and that was the end of it.

That nagging feeling wouldn't go away, but figuring it was Mom, I pushed it aside. Even gave my daughter permission to go out for a late date with her new beau. I guess it would have been around 730 ish, she called to tell me she was having seizures. After talking with her date, I made the command decision to get her to hospital. He's drive her there and I'd meet them.

Well after a few minutes of panic because I couldn't find my blessed keys, and of course calling to have her Dad meet us there, off I went, praying the entire way that no one would panic, no one would get in an accident, no one would be pulled over .

I made it, Ali made it and we got her checked in, after a few minutes, Gayle got there too and we were all in the bthack awaiting a visit from the physician on duty.

Her seizures seemed to come on quickly and one right after another – but they were atypical. She was able to focus her eyes, she was able to keep her speech and her memory was unaffected. She did, however, have a killer headache. They seemed to come one whenever anyone messed with her head.

Anyway a long night of tests went forward. Drug test (no illegal drugs) pregnancy test (no baby) CAT scan (normal) Lumbar Puncture (for bacterial meningitis – again none and Ali was mad she couldn't watch) However… possibly viral meningitis or a reaction to regular meds or something she was around or ate.

Well… the good news is that we got to spend time with her new boyfriends and we like him.
