David had a seizure last night at home while we were out at care group. Everything was so quiet for a couple weeks. I usually try to figure out if there is a trigger for it -- this time I'm blaming lack of sleep. Since he started Klonopin the seizure control has been great but for some reason he wakes up early in the morning. (Dr Maleeva thinks we're strange since Klonopin usually makes people sleepy, groggy, dopey, etc.)
Anyway, it was amazing that David actually had enough warning to call Bijan's cell phone to tell him he was about to have a seizure. He got a few words out then Bijan could hear him making noise. Rachel was home with him so after a few minutes she called and told us what was happening and assured us that David was ok.
Interesting context: at care group we asked for prayer for our kids at home as Bijan and I had planned to take a little Cessna trip to Santa Barbara today (Saturday), eat lunch and spend time on the beach. Bijan was thrilled with the romance of it all. (My thoughts were more along the lines of having enough air sick bags, cold water, cool enough clothes to live through this 90+ degree day in that little flying oven.) So we had to cancel these plans but were very thankful that David had a seizure before we left, if he was going to have any. God is so unpredictable--this was not what we were praying for!?! But we are learning to go with the flow and be thankful, whatever.
So far this morning he is fine. I gave him a bit extra sleeping medicine last night so maybe that is the next step.
As we learned in Latin: Deo Gratias!!
