Hand hold please

[MoserRothOrangeandAlmond]

My lovely husband is currently sleeping in a cubicle in A&E next to me. I've had one of the worst nights of my life.
Tonight I went to an exercise class, came back an hour and 15 mins later to find my 3 year old daughter standing at the top of the stairs (with her pyjamas on back to front) to say her daddy was lying on the floor in her bedroom.

Walked upstairs to find him on the floor, face covered in blood and confused.
Unsure if he had fainted or since he bit his tongue a seizure.

We were in A&E 8pm-4:30 am, bloods and CT head all ok.
Roll on 5:15 when he had drifted off to sleep he had a seizure lasting 5 minutes.
I'm a nurse but when it's your own it's horrendous.

I love him so much, I've know him most of my life! Be have loved each other since we were young teenagers. I'm so worried!
I'm like a swan (calm on the outside and my little feet are flapping away beneath the water)

I'm so worried. I'm alone, lack of sleep, post nightshift and my brain can't turn off,

Holding your hand x

You and your daughter must have been so scared, he’s in the right place now as you know and I’m keeping everything crossed for a speedy recovery x

As a nurse myself l understand the exterior calm, whilst internal turmoil.
You know he is in the right place, they'll look after him and find out and treat him.
Holding your hand tightly. Xx

Thank you, my brain won't turn off thinking of the future.. will he be able to look after our daughter alone again?
I know he can't drive for at least 6 months.
I'm hoping there isn't anything awful causing these seizures.
I knew finding my soulmate so young was to good to be true

As a nurse the one thing I hate is seizures as you feel so helpless. But when it's your own...

✋🏼 🤚🏼 clean, dry & ready for duty!!!

its so scary isn't it.

is DD with family/friends who can look after her for as long as you need?

Its good you can be with him to keep an eye on things & so he can feel safe & relax a bit more.

hopefully they can quickly work out what's causing & treat him.

you're all in my thoughts
🤗

Thinking of you and remember to look after yourself too.

Sending a hand hold for sure. How very worrying for you.

Thinking of you.

Thinking of you too op. 💐💐💐

Gosh poor guy and what a brave girl you have there!
Hope they get to the root of his seizures asap and that he can be treated.

Sending best wishes to you all. And what a wise daughter you are raising!

Handholding

Thank you so much everyone, my sister lives in the same street has been looking after our daughter. She has been up most of the night.
We're lucky to have my sis, BIL and niece live so close and we help each other out a lot.
My parents are on holiday atm my MIL and FIL are having her today. Poor little soul. She said that he had juice all over his face and he had drank too much juice. When he had blood all over. She's happy as Larry that her auntie is there this morning making her breakfast.
Everyone is so worried about him I don't want to put my worries onto them!

Sending love

update
He's now been transferred to the ward, CT scan showed sinusitis and he now has a fever.
Staying in for monitoring and IV antibiotics!
Been to see our little girl and had tea with her.

That must be a relief, hoping for a speedy recovery and thinking of you all.x

Consultant review and speak with neurology in the morning, needs an eeg and mri.
Not allowed to drive for at least 6 months (we expected that) but I'm what happens for him looking after our little girl?

I'm exhausted, been up for 36 hours so hopefully get some rest xx

Here for a handhold OP.

My brain just can't sleep, our house is empty with him in the hospital and our little girl at her Nannas so I can rest xxx

Sending a hand hold and virtual hug. Praying your DH makes a full recovery x

My dad is epileptic, had a seizure in front of me when I was 10. Seizures don't necessarily mean your husband has epilepsy. They are caused by a drop in blood pressure too so could just be something that caused his blood pressure to drop.

My dad looked after me and my siblings just fine throughout our childhood with his epilepsy, as do lots of parents with the condition and those with many other debilitating conditions.

@SugarRushCrush what a scary thing to witness when your 10.
They have mentioned that epilepsy can just come on at any time so he will be seen in a 'first fit clinic' as an outpatient.

I'm worried in the meantime if he has another seizure and I'm not there and he's with our daughter. I'm on annual leave for the next 2 weeks at the moment. (As we were meant to be going away).
But when I'm back at work I'm on night shift which is 12 hours and day shifts are 13 hours. Which a lot of the time especially at weekends he is her sole carer.
My mind just running away with me!

Hi op it must be so worrying thinking off you and your brave little girl I'm going to my local cathedral today to light a candle for a elderly lady I know I will light one for your husband hoping for a speedy recovery and full bill of health

Sorry to hear this, must be so scary for you.

My son was diagnosed with epilepsy last year, a huge shock for us. His independence has been restricted so much. He is finally on some meds that seem to have some control after trying 4 other types. We've bought relatively cheap cameras for the home so that we can monitor him when we're not in the same room from our phones. Perhaps you could use these to put your mind at rest when at work. There are all sorts of seizure alarms to alert you depending on the type of epilepsy. Lots of information on the epilepsy charity websites.

I'm hoping it's not epilepsy, if he has a temperature could be related to that.

It will take time, I think not only a year later, I've started to feel a little more relaxed.

@NicholJO thank you very much, much appreciated
