A worried mom

So I got a call today that my son was in the hospital. He had a seizure but no one knows why. The drive to the hospital was agonizing but he is with me now. He will follow up with the neurologist on Friday.

but worrying is not going to change a thing. For now don't think about the diagnosis and relax.

There's so many things that can cause seizures; I hope they isolate the cause.

We are home and I am trying to relax. I know worrying doesn't help but it's hard. I really appreciate everyone's support. I just have to try and be patient while waiting for answers. I am exhausted so a bubble bath and some chocolate sounds really good right now. Thanks again.

As a single mom, I sometimes forget that but I am working on it. I have much to be grateful for. We have great insurance. I am watching him and he seems to be in great spirits so there is that.
