Morning,, Nikki and Ed!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[nikkistevej]

Good morning!!!

Got my last follow-up visit to the Dr's this morning so hoping everything's back to normal as I don't think I could face another round of anti-bees...

Hope you all have a great day and I'll check in later...

Glad your health is back to normal, now your mind is another story...... LOL

OMG, that has got to be one of the worst days ever, Abby! I would've been terrified!!! Sending you and Gwynne plenty of and ... I hope today goes well and the seizure proves to be a one off...

Abby - I hope Gwynne is doing better. Best of luck at the doctor's office.

Oh my gosh, Abby. Please know we are thinking of you and Gwynne. I hope she feels better very soon. I'm very sorry for your loss too. Your having a rough week over there......

Kristin and Family!!!!!

Abby,

I hope it all works out for you and your family,
You and Gwynne are in our thoughts

OMG Abby, I hope she is going to be OK, Prayers go out to your family!

Thank you all! She is doing OK today. Just a fever. The ped. we saw today is not our regular one. She thinks Gwynne's blood sugar dropped. But if you look up Absence Seizure she had the classic symptoms of it. And the squad checked her blood sugar and they said it was fine. Also the hospital checked her blood sugar and said it came back fine. I've had many instances where my blood sugar dropped too low which caused me to vomit and become lethargic, but it was nothing like Gwynne yesterday. You know medicine, not an exact science!! In any case, she will have an EEG and maybe other tests done. I have a feeling this was just a fluke, one time thing.

Fingers crossed on that, Abby...

Sorry for the export, guys. Who Wants To Be a Millionaire and Cat Deeley are better ones IMO...

And we know how you all feel about Cat Deeley!! Is that why she got shipped over here? We are getting your cast-offs?

I won't hear a word against her - she's a fellow Brummie*!!! And stop complaining - you have the gorgeous Simon Cowell, the Osbournes AND Piers Morgan to name but several...

PS: Can you have Madonna back now, please???

*Birmingham born with awful regional accent!!!

You have to keep Madonna, and we have to keep David Beckham. (where's a drooling smilie when you need one?) I think that's a fair trade!

Abby,

I hope,, that she is going to be ok and that this was just a fluke thing!!!!!

Thanks Kristin! Me too. Even if it happens again, at least we've seen it before. The hospital called a while ago and said her blood sugar was fine in the ambulance and at the hospital. So it's doubtful that blood sugar had anything to do with it. She is cracking me up today. Non-stop chatter.......she's feeling good when her fever is down.

How are you doing today?

 

[nikkistevej]

The chatter is a good sign, I'm glad she is OK!!!

Thanks for missing me guys.

The excitement never ends. I was planning on going "home" Friday to go to the visiting hours and funeral for my cousin's husband but now I might not be able to go. (I also got the story on what happened to him. It's just so very sad. My heart breaks for my cousin every time I think about it) Anyway, I was in Gwynne's room this afternoon putting clothes away while she was laying in bed. She started up with diarrhea again today. She began to make sounds like she was going to be sick. So I sat her up, she started vomiting, then she went completely limp and unresponsive, however her eyes were open the entire time. Called the squad, took her to the hospital. She had a seizure called an absence seizure. I believe it is a generalized type of seizure. First one she's ever had that we are aware of. Her being sick has nothing to do with the seizure, just a fluke it happened when it did, according to the ER doc. Tomorrow I'm taking her to her ped. for follow-up and also she is being referred to a neurologist for further evaluation. We just got back from the hospital a little while ago. I'm beat. I did get to ride in the ambulance with her. You would not believe all the A-holes who pull out in front of emergency vehicles. Gwynne does not remember anything that happened, not even being in the ambulance, even though she was screaming her head off when they were trying to do an IV, checking her blood, all sorts of things. After we'd been at the hospital a while she started asking where she was, why was she there. I knew when the fire chief got to our house and was wrapping her up and carrying her out to the squad that she was not OK, because she is very fearful of men, but she didn't even flinch.

So, as you can tell, my week has been just dandy. I've been somewhat reading the posts, just haven't been responding. Hope everyone is doing OK. I'm going to go play ketchup now and see what I've missed.

OMG!!!!!! I hope Gwynne is doing better. Thoughts and Prayers!!!!

Good luck with that, Harry...

Thanks. It ended up being a non-event... The rest of my day was no thrill though....

They can have Beckham back - there are a lot of other players I would prefer to have playing here in the U.S. (just my opinion LOL)
