My husband has begun to have seizures. He had one back in 200 then didn't have another one until Jan 2007, then one in May 2007 and another one in Sept 2007. Now we can't figure out why he is having them. He is diabetic and has that under control. We have a 5 year old and a 1 year old. I have never experienced anything like this before. I have to admit, I am scared but I keep the "strong face" for my family. My husband and I are Christians and we do believe in God. I believe our faith has helped this ordeal tremendously.
That fear of not knowing when the next one will occur is a hard thing to deal with. Can someone help me and give me some pointers? We are positive about this. I mean, you can't let the fear get you down but you do have your days. I'm only human. I can remember praying to God that if my husband does have another one, let him be in bed. Guess what? This last seizure he had he was asleep and I was right beside him! I held him to make sure he wouldn't fall out of bed. I actually thanked God! I was so happy that he was on his fluffy pillow in a warm bed and he didn't fall and hit his head or anything. I count that as a blessing. The next day we were talking about the seizure. He asked me if he fell. I told him no and that I was holding him when he was going through it. Bless his heart, he hugged me and cried.
I want to be a big support for him but I need to be "fueled" myself. I hope you guys can help me.
