Just had the first seizure of the year.

Larry came in and woke me up, telling me he was pretty sure it was a seizure coming/happening.  He sat down, I ran and got water/meds.

When I got back, his hand was going pretty darn good and then his arm started. So, I tucked an ativan under his tongue.  (which freaked him out, for some reason...we're not sure why, but it stayed there).  Less than 2 minutes later, the seizure just...stopped. No lessening, nothing.  Pretty sure it was the Ativan stopping it - whew.

Larry wasn't nearly as upset as he usually is - so I'm hoping that they're less scary now...still freaky, but not terrifying.

Things are looking up...

Jan 23, 2016 - Two years

Two years ago today, our lives changed forever.

I came home to Larry on the floor, pretty much incoherent.  Within a few minutes of calling 911, I was incoherent too!

well, it's two years later - and things are going pretty good.  Larry's still improving - slowly but surely.  They say it can take between 5-6 years before the full extent of recovery is known. :)

It was a pretty quiet day today.  It was nice.

It's been a quiet couple of months.

We found out that Larry's Vitamin D was low, so we started him on a supplement on Jan 1, 2016.  Wow. What a difference already! It's been 3 weeks, and he's feeling better.  His mood has stabilized, no seizures this year *knock on wood*, and his pain level is going down.

we're all quite happy with this :)
