Huge hugs and thanks to you all. This has been a tough week, with no end in sight, and your virtual support helps. No answers yet: re:  DH's seizure. Still doing tests. In the meantime, because of state law, he now can't drive for the next 3 months. That is a long time. He is on Keppra, which is making him sleep most of the day and act like the world's biggest asshole the remainder of the day. The irritability and drowsiness are known side effects of the medication, but he has to keep to taking it until we know something more. I can't leave him alone, and I can't trust him to watch M. alone because of the drowsiness and inability to focus. As you might imagine, this does pose logistical challenges.

My mom was released from the ER the same day she went in, with orders to stay home from work for at least 3 days, and to follow up with her primary doctor and a neurologist. She has an appointment with her doc today, and one with the neurologist on Monday. Apart from some weakness, she says she feels ok. She hasn't had any further dizziness/balance issues or vomiting. *crosses fingers*

I don't know when life is going to resume any sense of normalcy. Happy Effing Holidays. *g* (I know many people are in much worse situations, so I say that mostly tongue-in-cheek. Things can always be worse. We haven't hit rock-bottom yet.)

Thanks for listening. I can't get online much right now, so individual replies will come later. Hope you are all doing well,
