Seizure Night

Well the 4th has come to an end. We had more rain here in SA but the dry days will come.
We took Grandpa out for burgers since it was too wet to grill. Alex had a good time and hot dogs and fries.
Then last night he had seizures (2:10 and 3:20 AM). Marycke gave him 20 mg Diastat. That of course led to deep sleep. We really had to 'shake him awake' to give him medicine at 8 AM. Then around 8:30 he had another seizure. Marycke gave him 10 mg more Diastat. No more seizures.
Around 2 PM, Alex staggered into the office, found his Grandpa's lap, and climbed in. They rocked for awhile. Then Alex was ready for some coffee.
Along with coffee Grandpa made him sausage and pancakes. Alex ate it all!

He continued lethargic the rest of the day. By dinner time he was ready to help me fire up the grilled. We asked Grandpa to stay again for the July 4th meal we missed because of the rain. Everyone enjoyed Bratwurst, corn, potato salad and watermelon. Alex ate well.











(Corn eating from the earlier years!)
