This morning I left for work before Justin was up. When I got home at supper time, we figured out that he had another seizure just after I left. AND he has been having little daytime "brain blips" that are not comfortable. I thought they were small seizures, but the doctor said he thought they were sleep deprivation.
So off to the (nearby) hospital we went again. They are actually pretty good there, though it is sometimes wild due to it being in the inner city. There were four security guards in the lobby, and they needed them all this time. Crazy. We got kicked out of the room in the ER, due to someone who was bleeding pretty bad. I'm fine with that. We can wait anywhere.
The doctor has to do a workup, then report to Iowa City, then they contact Justin's doctor there, who gets back to Broadlawns, who lets us know what to do. It just takes time. This time, Justin stood up for himself and said, "no IV, unless you have something going in me...", so they didn't put one in. They put soft pads on the gurney, just in case, and made him put on a gown--but with his shorts on. OK, he can handle that.
After waiting a long time, they decided to up his medication...again. Instead of 5 pills a day, it is now 6. Six is the most he can have, from what I hear. That isn't good, they make him tired. He still isn't sleeping much REAL sleep, but tired all day.
