David's Hospital Observation Stay
Dear Friends,
It is our 26 years and 1 month wedding anniversary today and we rejoice that David got to come home from the hospital. :>)
He took his regular seizure meds on Mon. night at 10, he and I checked into the Medical College of Ohio Hospital in Toledo at 8 a.m. on Tues. morning with no further meds at the time. They put him in a special room with a video camera on him for the day and wired him for an eeg. At 8p.m. he had a grand mal seizure which surprised the hospital staff and they went code blue because it was a big one. At 8:30 they took him to ICU for the night and I drove home. I had planned to stay the whole three days because they have a chair that folds into a bed, but when he was put in ICU I had nowhere to sleep so I came home. (Guess what? I had left the house key at the hospital! I cried, but the Lord prompted me to see if the church trustee down the road had an extra key, which he did, so I did get to sleep in our bed that night.)
For some reason, the staff took off the eeg wires while he was in ICU so on Wed. when they moved him back to the observation room, the entire day was wasted as there was no record of the smaller seizures he was having. Oh, they had put him immediately back on half of his meds after the grandmal. So, on Thursday aft. around 2 they rewired him and turned the video camera back on. Praise the Lord, they were able to get all that they needed to observe. Unfortunately we aren't scheduled to meet with the Dr. until Aug. 4th! We are praying that the Lord will give Dr. Greenfield the knowledge and wisdom that he needs so that he can get David's meds regulated in a way that he will be seizure free.
Stephen and Ezra were with diff. friends and relatives and enjoyed their little vacation. Please pray for us as we all adjust back into family life after almost a week apart.
Blessings to you all,
Rebecca
