My 10 and 5 year old children were the only ones around for my seizure yesterday. I felt the aura (which I hadn’t experienced in 1.5 months!) and something in me knew it was much stronger and not going to stay at its focal point. I said “oh no” and sat on the kitchen floor. Next thing I remember is looking at 4 paramedics crouched beside me and I was sitting up asking repeatedly “what is that?” Because he was using a BP cuff. My kids had gotten me a pillow, taken off my glasses, called 911 and their father in case he needed to get them.
They also filled in a lot of details they said I spoke or acted (I want the next one recorded so badly). I am proud of them. My oldest held it together til last night when they really wanted to make sure I wouldn’t be having another one in from of them. I know it must be traumatic to see your mother like that!
10YO was worried all night I would fall out of bed and get hurt or that she would have one. They’ve known about my seizures for almost a year now, but only heard them and stories of them. Never witnessed, especially with no one else there with them during the actual seizure. If I understood them and their dad correctly, everyone showed up during the postictal phase. I am much more sore after this one and it took my brain much longer to recover.
Do they get worse each time?
