This is why we're doing this

Yesterday David had a seizure.
(I had just finished tidying up the blog and posting about how he had had none and what good news that was.)
In my gloom afterward I finally remembered that I usually check his temperature and see if he's forgotten a dose of meds, as those usually explain a seizure for him. His temp was 99.5 which is high enough for him to provoke a seizure. So it was good to find there was a cause we could do something about.
A small fever like that is hard to prevent or even notice so he has been very vulnerable to seizures in spite of all the meds and the VNS implant. This has been the one last trigger to conquer and nothing has touched it. Except Motrin, etc, but he can't take that all the time.
So we are really thankful to be in the running for surgery.
