Bethany Released From Childrens Medical Ctr- Dallas

It has been a week since we went to Childrens Medical Center in Dallas for Bethany's two unexpected and sudden seizures. The first seizure early on Father's Day lasted 15 minutes and then another that night started at 8:45pm, lasting until we arrived in Dallas at 11:30pm. She was taken right away into the ER and had around 10 people in the room stabilizing her. I wanted to stand there and cry, but I manged to stay calm knowing that she was in great hands.

From that point on we had no idea how long we would be at the hospital, or what tests they would need to do to figure out what triggered the seizures. They began with a CAT scan and a spinal tap in the ER. She was moved to the neurology floor at 5am. The following day started with blood work and an EEG (Electroencephalogram) that was 45 mins long, and then the doctors decided to monitor her for a 24hr period with both video and an EEG. Day 3 included a MRI and multiple blood draws, as well as another spinal tap. Finally, on Thursday, she endured a few more needle pokes and was released following a clear EEG, her third of the week!

We are now in Sulphur Springs, TX where it looks like we will be parking the RV for the next foreseeable future. More updates to come soon. Know that Bethany and all are doing well. Thank you for your prayers!!
