Saturday night was a doozy for us.
Dawson laid down Sat afternoon for a nap and when he woke up I went back their he was sitting up in bed. I laid down beside him to see if he wanted to go back to sleep and thats when it happened...
His eyes rolled back in his head, he was completely limp, not breathing, turning colors. Never never never have I seen anything like this before in my life. I screamed for Allison to come and when she saw him she called 911.
After a couple of minutes, he started to come out of the seizure but he was definitely not back yet. Lights on but nobody home!!
She was talking to the 911 operator and we were discussing whether or not we needed assistance and he did it again.. eyes back, limp, stopped breathing the whole 9 yards all over again.. Of course at this point we told them to come as fast as possible.
We have been living with seizures since Dawson was 2 months old and I consider myself to be well kept together during clusters of seizures but I was just not prepared for this. He has never done this before and it scared Allison and I half to death.
At the hospital he was monitored and given an IV ( Dawson put up a great fight!! I was so proud) and after a while he was given a seizure med through his IV that is supposed to stop seizures and shortly after that we were discharged to go home.
We made it to Granny's and Grampy's to get Madison and I was holding Dawson and it happened again.... It's as though whatever they gave him ( cant remember the name right now) made it worse... who knows??? This kid is really putting us through our paces right now..
Why after 2 years would he have this type of seizure out of the blue like this???
Saturday night he was fine, He woke up Sunday morning and had his " normal" cluster of seizures and as of today he is doing really great..
I don't even know what type of seizure to call what he had??
His neuro is supposed to call us later this afternoon and I am anxious to hear what she thinks about all this and what possibly is going in with him..
Our family, our son, is under attack from the enemy. He wants us to cry out in despair and question everything we know to be the truth. He wants to break us down because he knows how much we love God. We WILL NOT be shaken!!
We praise God for all he has done for us!!
Please continue your prayers for us as we fight for seizure freedom for Dawson.
Our love to all
Jeff and Allison

First of all ... oh.my.gosh!!Cannot even imagine how terrifying this must have been.I too am so proud of your little fighter because I have witnessed,first hand,since he was just a baby,that Dawson will not give in or up.This is no different.I wish I had the answer.The miracle.The seizure freedom medication at the ready.I don't.But what I do have is complete and unwavering faith in you as a family.I have unwavering faith in Dawson that he will find his way back to seizure freedom.Prayers for you all,in great abundance,coming from California.
I seriously have goose bumps. And it's not because of the horrendous seizures you experienced, it's because of the unwavering faith I see in you! Amazing! I've still got chills! I will certainly say an extra prayer for little Dawson tonight and praise for the faith that your family shares with others day in and day out!
I am so sorry to hear about these frightening seizures.
Reading your post, I just wanted to let you know we will be lifting Dawson and your family in prayer.
I hope you don't mind that I linked your blog to mine, let me know if you want it off.
Blessings~ Debbie & Hudson
Just came across your blog. My daughter started seizures at 2 months and also had those blood curdling screams.. She is also on Keppra which seems to help. Not sure if you know this but vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) helps with the moods / agression associated with Keppra.
So, so sorry that Dawson had those seizures. You all must of been so scared. I do not like this new type of seizure, and pray that it does not return. I'm praying for Dawson and believe that he will overcome this! We stand in faith with you!
That sounds very scary, I am sorry you had to witness that. I hope those do not continue! :( By any chance has Dawson had a flu shot recently? There are strong links between the flu shot and increased seizure activity in those with seizures. Just a thought.
I am praying for your sweet little boy!
oh my goddness!!! I would have been beside myself. Thank God he is ok now, and has not had another since that day. Your faith is truly awe inspiring & is one of the reasons i love your family & love following your blog. i definitely feel uplifted after reading it. {{{hugs}}
