The Beginning

Hi, I am a 30 year old mom with 3 boys.
(I have chronic hypertension, CHF, spondylosis, spinal arthritis, herniated disk, bulges on my spine, no cartiliage in my knees, and spurs behind both kneecaps! But hey Mommy doesn't get a sick day. )
 My middle son is 4.5 yrs old and in April he begin having seizures. I fyou havent been through it, then you dont know my pain. He is my first born (biological) son and for the longest it was just us. So in April we woke up as usual, cut the tv on, fixed the baby a bottle and started to hang out. My niece stayed with me that night and as she walked into my room I stood up to get something off the dresser and she asked whats wrong with him? I turned to see my baby in the middle of a seizure. OMG the things that my body went through. I jumped into "Supermom" mode, I hit the alarm for the paramedics, told my niece to call 911, and grabbed him out of the bed and headed for the door. I stopped to regain my composure and called my parents, by that time AAA showed up and thank God for them. We stayed at the hospital for hours and left with no answers.

2ND EPISODE: I took my youngest to the doctor and as soon as I hit the door my signal picked back up and it was the Daycare of his daycare. They had headed to the hospital with my baby. Of course I was worried but a little relieved because his TT (my sissy) was his teacher. She went into a panic of course but thats my sissy.lol. On that visit they gave him medicine to control it. I was very skeptical about this medicine but thats just my Motherly instincts kicking in. The medicine was a very old medicine that people used to take and it made this little boy jump off the wall. I felt like I needed medication but my baby was "fine" he was joking and playing with the nurses.
NOW: he has had maybe 4 episodes since the first and each time I panic. My fiance and I take turns sleeping in the bed with him bc my research on the computer said "BENIGN  ROLANDIC EPILEPSY IN CHILDREN" episodes occur mostly while the child is sleep. So we are always on pins and needles, day and night. I started this blog for any other parent who may have a sick child and need to put their feelings out there and cant sleep. More post to come
