UPDATE: Lois is back at Weinberg and doing fine. All tests showed that there was no damage from the seizure, and she is okay. They have decided to up one of her meds which helps control seizures. She made new friends with the nurses at the hospital and everyone from Weinberg was happy to see her back. She will take today off from therapy but resume all therapies tomorrow (This was HER choice). It was a scare but over and all is well.
NEWS: Lois had a seizure on Tuesday morning and was taken by ambulance to Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital. She is fine now but it was a real scare for us. They decided to keep her overnight for observation. We spent over 8 hrs in the ER which was a real bummer. Luckily Lois was on a valium and slept through most of it. We will know later today when she will be discharged and return to Weinberg. They don’t seem to know what caused the seizure. The stroke is the underlying cause of the seizure but she is on a medication to control this sort of thing. They are running lots of tests and hope to determine the cause so that it can be corrected.
