Frosty Seizure May 7th

Just wanted to update everyone really quick...plus so I have this all written down just in case I ever have to look back for it. We are trying to just compile all the details...so some of the stuff seems like way to much info, but I just want it written down in case we need it later. And I know our family and friends want to stay updated on him. :)

This week, Frosty has been having headaches when he wakes up in the morning. He says they feel pretty bad, but subside after he's been up for awhile. He also had 2 nosebleeds last week.

While Danny and Frosty was at the Matt Maupin Memorial Fishing Tournament {May 7th...around 12pm'ish}...they were sitting on the edge of the water fishing. Frosty remembers looking off to his side/behind him...and that is the last thing he remembers before waking up a bit later. Danny called his name, but he did not respond. Still sitting in his chair, with his head to the side, he was shaking. His eyes were kind of to the side.

Danny scooped him up, and kicked his chair out of the way so he could lay him down on the ground. Danny put Frost over on his side. He noticed that Frosty's lips were turning a blue color, and was sort of foaming at the mouth slightly. It lasted about 1 to 2 minutes.

Once he started coming out of the seizure...Danny asked him where he was, and he wasn't sure. Danny asked him his name, and how old he was...he answered these fine. He was unsure of what day is was when asked, and then was asking Danny what day it was. He was asking if they could leave because he was very tired. It took him a few minutes to really "come back around". On the way home, Danny found out that Frosty did not remember Danny asking him all the questions right afterward. Danny said that it did not seem like it took him as long as last time to "come back around" as the two times before.

Danny cradled Frosty's head with his arm while he was seizing because he thought it was bouncing around so much...hitting the ground kinda hard.

Danny and Frosty ate lunch not long before the seizure started...a hot dog on a bun {ate only part because he saved some for the fish :) }, banana, chips, Sunkist pop. {He also had shredded wheat blueberry cereal for breakfast} On the way home, his stomach was feeling upset, and Danny had to pull over so Frosty could throw up on the side of the road.

Now that he is at home, he does not seem as tired as the two previous times, either. He is right now laying on the couch watching some TV. He currently has not headaches. He has stomachache, just like he did on the way home. No sore muscles, though.

We will be calling the neurologist's office here in just a bit to leave a message for the nurse to let them know what happened.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts, well wishes, and support! We appreciate all of it so very much. It means so much to our family!
