Update on Andrew
On Thursday, Andrew had to transported to the hospital by ambulance from the school bus. He had what appears to be a gran mal seizure. He has never had this type of seizure before. He had only had partial complex seizures that were only occurring in his sleep. This time he was fully awake before the seizure began. He was under great care having such wonderful ladies taking care of him on the bus. The principal called me as soon as he was contacted and he was in the hospital with Andrew when I arrived. He took such great care of Andrew. The teacher even called me later that evening to check on him. The staff at his new school have been so wonderful to him. They seem to be puzzled by the trouble he had at the last school because they keep bragging about how laid back and easy going he is. They have continuously bragged about how much fun he is to be with. It's sad that the other staff just preyed upon him and didn't get to enjoy his wonderful personality. It's nice to have him at a place that truly care for and enjoy having him. He has been sleeping a lot since this seizure, even today. We will be visiting the neurologist soon to see what we need to do next. They have increased one of his seizures meds and prescribed him another as well. Please continue to remember him. Thank you all for your support!
