• So how does this thing called life work again?

  My brother just had a full-scale seizure, and is now in the emergency room. EMT just gave him a big dose of Valium, so we had to wait for him to wake up and come home. I'm taking the later shift while my mother is now waiting in the ER.

  Let me explain my standard of full-scale seizure. My brother is an epileptic, and he has his condition under control 99.9% of the time with medication. Most days he's normal, there are some days he would complain about headaches and body aches. That would mean the night before he was having a few minor twitches, but not enough to start shaking violently. Full-scale seizure is just shaking with foam around his mouth, just not waking up and unresponsive. He just had one of those around 11pm.

  This time he's just tired. He was offered temporary work on top of school, so he's just worn out. Know what not to do next time: No 24-7 slave labor with work and school.

  I have good faith that the medication is working, he just need to fall back to his normal routine with just school.

  'night.
