KEN
I'M GLAD YOUR WIFE IS DOING BETTER HANG IN THERE BUDDY.

It happened again on Friday 11-4.  Another 911 call.  Another ambulance ride to the ER.  This time they put her on an IV to raise the level of her anti convultion medication, and also raised a low potassium level.   Then sent her home.   We were at the ER about 4 hours.  They also increased her meds so hopefull it won't reoccour.

At least this time it wasn't as bad.  After just one day she seem to be completely back physically and close mentally to where she was before the incident.  She just forgets more than before, but that's also getting better as the day wears on.  We did get in the Minivan and go to dinner tonight.  And she very slowly got to the van, into dinner, and back to the van and in the house WITHOUT her walker.  Very slow and unsteady, but she made it. I did have to help her stand up at the restaurant.  The chair was a bit too low and she could not get up by herself.

Aside from these episodes, she is very slowly and steadly getting better.

How frustrating this must be for you & your wife!
Its good to hear this episode wasn't as bad as before, tho. We can only hope that someone figures this out, and gets a handle on the solution. Best wishes to the both of you and the family. Hugs & prayers for all.

Ken you are so strong and touch me deeply.  You and your wife are very lucky to have each other.  Thank you for taking the time to keep us up to date on your wife's struggles and what you are going through, I only regret that I am not closer to give you personal support.  take care and focus on the finish line....

 

Actually, it is just I who is very lucky to have her.  And very lucky to be able to still have her.  We will get through this.  Thanks to all of you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your wife , and daughters too, Ken, hopefully good news is ahead ! Aegisfang38663.8848842593

I'm still praying, Ken.
You are an excellent & patient husband for your wife - may God bless you. Thanks for the updates.

Ken, I`m not familiar with symtoms of convulsions with strokjes.

However, Your description is exactly what happens to my wife ( who has had epiletic seizures all her life) scares the sh*t out of me everytime. Not to say she has become epeleptic , but they need to find the source for the siezure. I pray they find no brain tumors. Stay on top of these Drs.

God bless.

They tell me it's from an electrical overload of the nerves in the brain.  This is a result from the problems causes by the infection, and should heal with time.  The medicine they are giving her now is supposed to control this.  They started her on it after the first one, but it didn't stop the second one.  They upped the dosage.  I hope that does it.
