Finally Asleep
Posted on | April 19, 2009 | No Comments
John finally went to sleep around 11 p.m. last night. He woke up once during the night, but is soundly sleeping now. So the seizures seem to have come to an end.
We worked with one of the neurologists yesterday to figure out what dosage of seizure medication—some of which are sedatives—we could give John without too much risk of respiratory failure. But whatever we gave him didn’t stop the cycle. It seems like it was time that finally brought them to an end. For whatever reason, God decided that the seizures yesterday needed to run out their full cycle.
Pneumonia is also a concern. John has had upper respiratory congestion this week and was running a fever for much of yesterday. But Dr. Griggs, John’s pediatrician, came by and said that his lungs sounded pretty good. So we just kept shifting John around and patting his back throughout the day to make sure everything stayed clear. His temperature is gone today.
William is also sick. Maybe even the same thing that John has. But he is much better and staying in pretty good spirits, even though we had to cancel his birthday trip to the zoo yesterday.
Thank you for your prayers and notes of concern. We very much appreciate them. And need them.
