isn't this fun?????

I had to wait an hour before they seemed to remember I was in the room. All I got for an answer was, “We don’t know, that was weird” and “the doctor is on her way”. They took my mom for a CT scan to see if the brain was okay. That’s when I called my Dad to inform him of the day’s excitement. He came soon after to make sure what happened and see the doctor. If you miss the doctor’s visit, the information shan't be repeated.


I was talked to by the on-call doctor who told me it could have been a response from her growing tumors. Even late on, the main doctor gave a vague, “it could have been anything” response. Nice. Only 7 years and I could get paid to tell families that I have no clue what that was but whatever more meds will fix it!


The doctors did help stabilize her but were never willing to call the episode what it was a seizure. I never saw her have one but my Dad described them and that was it.


This was one of the worst days of my life. And there is a kicker; every story needs a kicker, right? When the blue button alarm was called off and the nurses left the room, just outside the door, one nurse remarked to another that she loved when thing’s got exciting and was disappointed that the fun was over.
