it's de mama's job to worry.........

Thursday, March 31, at 8:30 in the morning the phone rings at the office where I work. It's my husband telling me that our 14 year old son has had another seizure at school. These seizures started just over a year ago as tiny 'episodes' and have progressed to full blown grand mal seizures although I was told by the ER doctor that the last one two months ago was just 'hyperventilation' if you can believe that. Anyway, so while waiting for the MRI, EEG, and ABC's to be scheduled of course de mama starts to worrying..........What is going on with my baby? And of course, where else would a worrying mama turn but to the big www to do some research. So I find the lists of what could be wrong......ok, epilepsy we could live with but a brain tumor??? Nah, surely not.....not my big, healthy athletic teenager. What are the symptoms? headaches, seizures.......yes, those have gotten worse over the past year but hey, he still has a great appetite!!!

I do hope they get those tests scheduled quickly. I'm now inventing all kinds of things that could be wrong with him and need some peace of mind that he is going to be ok. Not that I don't have those moments I am tempted to toss him out on his ear but he is still my dear boy so I wait and I worry.........for what else is there for de mama to do??????
