McKay's in the hospital

I just wanted to write a little something quick before I head off to sleep. Saturday around 2:00 McKay had a grand maul seizure. He has never had one of these before. but yes he does have seizures quite often. They only last 3-4 seconds though. This one lasted a total of 45 minutes. It started right here in our living room. I was sitting right next to him when it started, and lasted the whole way to Primary Children's Hospital and did not stop until they gave him a drug called Adivan. I can honestly say that this was the scariest thing we've gone through yet with little McKay. We wondered maybe if this was going to be it for McKay. It hit me really strong when I walked into his room there in the Emergency room and saw McKay shaking on the table with wires and cords all over him. But once again he has pulled through and he's feeling much better. He is still in the hospital and most likely will be there for a couple more days. He is still very lethargic and very out of it. They say that after a seizure one can be very tired and will sleep for a long time. so.... they won't send him home till he's more his normal self again. They really don't know why this happened, so we still have no real answers. They are putting him back on another medication for seizures and want to make sure he tolerates it okay. So anyway.... that's a little update. Other than that all is well- John stays the night with McKay and I stay here with the little one's. I go up for part of the day. My goal is to just keep up with everything! I just can't believe Christmas is in a week. so Just know..... If you don't get a Christmas card here soon..... Well, just know we love you! Here's one thing I've learned through all of this. It seems that almost every year of McKay's life we have spent some time at Primary children's in some way or another. It's there that I learn what's most important in life. Life is so precious. Christmas will come and go. Just take a deep breath and enjoy the small moments of life.
