I have not read the actual post yet... I had gone to bed actually and am reading the posts from the top down this morning <g>
but I have to get balance back in myself and in my life and face these fears...
there will be more seizures, I only hope of a lesser extreme...
the fever with this one was so extreme that one of the concerns was brain damage...
I am not sure how I would cope with that... and I know now, after a long chat with my favourite (and only) son, that my husband was in a long night of terror about it until they told him some time late the next day that the fever had come down quite a bit and was under control. By Thursday morning I was only a few points above normal temperature... and still being given Tylenol to bring it down...no Rainy, you are not speaking out of turn...
logic has to re-enter my life...
yesterday to my great delight, we were out for coffee and he let me walk home alone -- I stopped to pick up bread and croissants at the bakery and a couple of fish at the hobby shop to add to the aquaria in the living room...
he was in the front door a few minutes after I was and I secretly believe he followed me but I had the feeling of doing it alone <gg>
He has been so smothering almost...
but I have been hearing from people how totally distraught he has been and I am now developing a real case of the guilts even though as he says I didn't plan it...
and I don't plan to do another one either...
I can't wait until they get this med thing balanced... it says in the book they sent home with the rules in it that it could take as much as two years!!!!!! LOL that really made my day
