Jill,
I hope his seizure was just a one-time thing too. I know both of you would
be totally relieved if everything was normal. It is great that your family
doctor works that quickly for you to get everything diagnosed and find out
what caused that seizure to happen. A lot of the doctors where I live are
not that interested in your health as much as they are in writing out
medicine you don't need and just getting their money. My neurologist is 3
hours away from where I live, the ones around where I live don't have the
equipment or experience as for the ones away from here. I don't care for
doctors, but I have to go them regardless. As long as you are there to care
and worry about your other half, that is great he has you to take care of
him.Both of you take care of yourselves and I hope everything works out for
the best. Write anytime.
Tammy
