While we are discussing the craziness that went on with my seizure, I have to mention my wonderful parents. They were the first people to hear about the seizure. Imagine someone in front of you is having a seizure. You go through the person’s purse. Find their wallet so at least you know their name. Find their cell and who do you call — MOM and DAD. Of course, at least you know these people are related to them. My parents were terrified and wanted to get to me immediately. Problem: they live 8 hours away.
My parents got the word at 5;05 and by 5:30 they were in the car headed this way. Now to understand how amazing this is you have to understand my mom. My mom is awesome, but she takes forever to pack for a trip. She even makes lists of all of the things she will put in her suitcase before she packs so she won’t forget something. Spur of the moment is not their thing.
So, they hopped in the car and headed here arriving just in time for me to be released from the hospital. All they wanted to do was see me and know that I was okay. I was so happy they were here to take care of me. They knew my medical history and had been with me through it all so far. They drove me home and we all went to bed.
The next day, my parents drove me to my doctor’s appointsments. They were happy to hear what he had to say and offer any information they could. The next day my dad drove me to the EEG and MRI while my mom cleaned the house (which it desperately needed – trust me). After all of the testing, mom went to the grocery store to stock my cupboards knowing I wouldn’t be able to drive myself to do that. They thought of everything. Only when I got settled and I headed back to work did they go home.
Where would I be without my parents? I can’t put into words how much it meant to me that they came to my rescue. They are my number one fans and the ones that tell me things I don’t always want to hear, but sometimes need to hear. They are my friends and guide. Thank you for your love.
