18-6-2008 - got to be kidding me!

My mood while writing this blog: pissed/worried

---

so my bf recently had five seizures within six hours. he is currently on phenytoin on the low dose of 100mg three times a day, and has an appointment with the neurologist on thursday to run tests to try to locate a cause, and to see how the dosage is working in his blood and such.

to me, money should not be an object. his fucking mother feels otherwise, i guess. she says, it'd be "better" (cheaper) to instead of run tests, just continue on the medicine, since its controlling the seizures. yeah, its been like a damn week! he's had seizures in the past they couldnt get figured out (probably, im thinking, cause this bitch is too cheap) and without medication has gone several months without seizures, and just has them out of nowhere. i want to get this figured out, price NO OBJECT.

what if when i go back to work, and my bf is home alone with the baby, he has seizures? my baby will have no care, for who knows how long! its so dangerous, so scary to think about it to me. what if the baby is in his arms? he cant control anything when they start...the baby could be killed instantly from the force.

in order for us to have a safe, normal, happy life we need to get this figured out! and when i said something to that effect, she said "well then YOU ALL can pay for that part." well..fuck. i only have 100 dollars to my name. but i'll give it all..some kind of payment plan or something. i dont care, i actually LOVE and CARE for my bf and my unborn son.

perhaps she doesnt understand that. i'm sure i sound mean and crazy but....fuck i am right now. i really dont like her anyways, and now its getting worse and worse every day. and this just completely made it a thousand times worse.

what should i do? arghh...i dunno, i..ugh. idunno.

unfortunately you cant always figure out seizure ordeals. I know. My oldest son has been having seizures daily since he was 6 months old. He is almost 5 now. He has even had an implant placed to help control them and is on three medications. My neurologist said.. . sometimes having an answer doesn't even help. I wish you guys the best of luck :)

wow thats crazy, i would advice you to try to find an alternative until you all can get this thing figured out too and make sure you have back up baby sitting just in case bf is not capable of watching baby around the time baby is in need of care. (i.e. hospitalization) dont worry about his mom, moms are like that anyways, especially with their sons. You will get through it just dont stress yourself out too much .

wow, it is really suprising that his mom is not as concerned about him as she is about money! I would definitely encourage him to seek out the testing and get to the root of this problem. maybe you can check in to getting him some kind of assistane with his medical care? Maybe apply for state assistance or something. I would think his mom would just want her son to be healthy and happy so he can enjoy his son and being with you who he obviously loves a lot. In laws are freaking weird sometimes! At least you know you are already a better mom than she is since you are already thinking about your baby's safety and well being even before he is born. Thank goodness he has you to look out for him since his mom is obviously happy to settle with a "bandaid" treatment instead of finding the cause. good luck to both of you and I hope you can figure out what is going on.
