Scary Mami-Moments...

Today, Ben called...

"The school called. There's been an emergency. Andrew fell asleep, and he's unresponsive...they are calling the ambulance."

You can imagine what went thru my mind...I went to the ED to wait for the ambulance; it seemed like for-ever! Unresponsive--what does that mean? Is he breathing? a pulse? eye movement? What's taking so long!!!! Could he have gotten into any medicine? He was fine this morning...what if he dies?

I remember getting a similar call from my brother nearly two years ago when my sister died. So my mind was flooded with all the events that went on this morning and all the things that I wish I would have done or not done in the small amount of time that we've known Andrew as our own.

Many scary Mami-moments...and then finally, the ambulance arrives. Andrew appears dazed. Alert, yet not verbally responsive...at last he speaks as the doctor sends him to have a CT Scan to rule out in abnormalities in his brain. He also ordered blood work.

The tests all came back normal. The doctor has also ordered an EEG to be done to determine if the cause of today's "unresponsive episode" was due to an "atypical seizure." We go tomorrow for that.

My prayer is that he was overly exhausted from our visit from our cousins last night and just zonked in Spanish class today. He generally is easy to arouse, but last night did not get into bed until b/w 9 - 930p. (We have been trying to put them in bed between 7 -730 on school nights!)

We will know more later this week. Much appreciation to those who will join with us in prayer of good health over all of our children. Sometimes, things go so well, we forget or neglect to pray for health and mental wellbeing, purity, and safe keeping...etc. Thanks in advance!
