Just a note to have this written down somewhere. Davy had a seizure on the schoolbus on Thursday afternoon. The bus attendant came up to the door and asked for help getting Davy off the bus. He had come to but was still very loopy and wobbly on his feet. I had him sit on the steps while I called for an ambulance and the bus drove off. I have no recollection of him ever having a seizure before so I wanted to get him to the hospital to get checked out and I didn't know if he might have another one on the way there so I thought the ambulance was the best idea.

The boys and I followed in the van and Jeff met us at the hospital. They let us go right on back since Davy is special needs. We got there a little after 4:30 pm. They got an IV port put in him, blood drawn and a chest Xray taken right away and then we waited. I noticed around 6:30 Davy was really coming back to his usual self. Around 10pm they finally got us in for a CT scan and all tests came back OK so we were discharged around 11:30pm with instructions to stop the antibiotics he was on for an infected ingrown toenail. He had a few bumps and bruises and a bitten tongue. It looks like tomorrow we will be headed into the clinic thought because his tongue looks infected and it hurts him a lot.

I have to say the folks at JPS (John Peter Smith Hospital) ER were all really nice and professional. You hear such bad things about going into a metropolitan county ER, but so far JPS has dispelled those stories through the good service at both their ER and their urgent care outpatient clinic these past few days.
