Sitting in a hospital bed. Got the electrodes on and just had lunch now abou ready for a nap. Lol but it isn't too bad got tv and a comfy bed. Although I'm in the pediatric unit. Not bad though.
 
Maybe they can find you some video games since you're in the pediatric unit. :)
 
How are things going today? Any excitement?

Thats a good look for you court lol. I wish I could take a pic but don't have that capability. I think ive ben having staring spells but no big seizures yet. Being sleep deprived and no meds tonight. Got my iv line in just in case and right now eating popcorn and watching The Game Plan.
 
a week no tv, before i thought to save any movies on my computer
 
Oh, I hate to be bed ridden! I feel for you, especially this time of year. Do you have an estimated time of departure ???
 
I'm only supposed to be here 24 hours, I just am not sure if they'll keep me longer if they don't get everything they want.
 
Shoot! "everything they want" sounds scary. I hope its not money, they can be greedy bastards.
 
You can do it, hang it there! and court, looks like you got off easy, I had to have 53 probes and then wrapped my head like a mummy for 5 days! Extremely attractive. I have a pic somewhere....
 
There keeping me another night. Not sure if there wasn't activity or what. But they just drew blood.
 
How's the Hotel Hospital Pediatrical?

Hello, and how are you this late A.M./early afternoon? The reason blood was drawn was to check your medicine levels, probably to see how much Keppra was left in your system, as well as any other ant-seizure meds you take. I hope the wires aren't bugging you too much & you aren't forgetting you're plugged in --- I did & accidentally yanked on my hair & head a couple of times---ouch! |:~P I know you're bound to have seizures soon, especially if you're being sleep deprived. If you haven't had a seizure by Day 3 or Day 4, your doctors & nurses will probably pull out all the stops, or tricks in their bags. AH! And don't worry about bothering the nurses & patient care techs, & even any volunteers, especially if you're bed-bound & there's a camera watching your every move. Ask the nurses if there's a DVD player & TV you can borrow, or if your bf has access to a laptop that can play DVD's, have him bring it when he visits, or drop it off on his way to work. Take care, SoonToBeMommy! :-)
 
court, looks like you got off easy, I had to have 53 probes and then wrapped my head like a mummy for 5 days!

no kidding omg!! court! that looks fairly holiday-ish compared to me. huskymom i didn't quite have 53 but it was 40+, i almost looked like something from the matrix.
