A quick Jacob update...

It's been a long couple of days. We've all been trying to recuperate and get ourselves together. So early Thursday morning (11/19, a month exactly from his last) Jacob had his second and worst seizure. It was around 3:45am and he had been woken up, accidentally by Jesse. He had gone to check if he still had a fever since Jacob had one when he woke earlier in the night, and he did. Jess brought him to our bed where I gave him medicine and cold water, however I saw a change in Jacob and I knew something was going to happen. Sure enough, he began to seize. This seizure was not like his last in that he did not convulse as much, but was very stiff, and where the last seizure was only a few minutes, this one lasted at least 15 minutes. A very long time which could mean something more serious. We called 911, and we're rushed to the ER. They ran tests (all normal), he had IV, they eventually changed us over to our primary care facility, and by the time everything was over Jacob had been battered, bruised, and was utterly exhausted. Poor thing. It was a hard 24 hours. Today, Jacob is back to his old self, however the tests continue because of the length of his seizure. He has not had a nap today since he woke up this morning and he will only be able to sleep a total of 5.5 hours tonight. Why you ask...Jacob will be having an EEG tomorrow morning and needs to be sleep deprived for the test. We are praying and hoping that everything comes back absolutely normal, and we'll find out on Friday when we go over the results with his neurologist. It's been a hard, trying time but I thank God for a our wonderful support system. Without them I don't know where we'd find the strength. And THANK YOU to those of you have kept us in your thoughts and prayers, and for leaving comments, texts, emails, and phone calls. I truly appreciate it.
