I spoke with the hospital this morning and they will do a urine test to rule out any infections (nurse says his chest is fine and there is no temperature but will do the urine test anyway). I told her about my fear of seizures – is he having seizures at night or at times when people do not see him? I described yesterday’s lunch episode. Are seizures making him sleepy?

I was wrong about his meds not having been changed at all: they have discontinued the Ambien/ Zolpidem but I am not sure how that could have affected Chris in this way. (Ambien/ Zolpidem is a sleeping pill which reportedly has “awoken” certain comatose people.) I will have another call tomorrow but basically everyone is on high alert mode and the doctor has been notified.

My parents and Gabriel (on vacation since this week) went to the hospital today and spent a good amount of time with Chris. My mom was scared since yesterday when I told her about Chris so she was very apprehensive going to the hospital. However, I just hung up the phone with her and she is giggly and happy saying Chris is smiling back at her, he ate all his supplements and apple, he enjoyed her foot massage, he is not grinding his teeth at all, his head holding is OK (down and up, but not as bad as I had reported yesterday), and he has made good eye contact. I hope she is right – although I need to see him for myself before feeling 100% OK…

I will be following up tomorrow again. I am just paranoid about seizures because I know people like Chris are very subject to it. Infections are also major threats. Hopefully Chris will bounce back quickly.

Thanks Tim for your post - and also Valerie M. for bringing up the infection possibility.
