I have debated for the last two days on how to post this entry, because I don’t want people to build an opinion of my sister based upon what they think she is like from this entry, but I still do want to post an entry about this weekend. So I have decided on telling the tale, but I would like everyone who has never met my sister to look at this in a new perspective.
My sister has epilepsy. Friday morning my sister started having seizures. This was the first time in 10 years that she has had them. She only had three, but it was decided to put her in the hospital. So that she could be checked out, and because my parents were afraid she would start having them non-stop like she used to when she was a kid. She stayed there overnight and they found that her medicine levels were a little low, but that she had no other issues and released her. It has been a little dramatic, but all in all things are ok.
When I say she had them non-stop I do not mean that her entire childhood she had seizures. I instead mean that at times when she was little she would all of the sudden start having them and then she wouldn’t stop until we got her medicine levels up. I can think of only maybe three times that she was having them as a kid. Ages 2 and 9 I am sure of, but I think there might have been another one in there. All of the times she was put in the hospital though and all of them were bad. This time though it wasn’t as bad and she has come out of it fine.
