Zoe: Knife Edge

Its been a hellish 24 hours. In fact, too awful to go into much detail.

Sonny's had another seizure.
It was a shock and really scary.

He had a reaction to the anti-seizure medicine.
It was really scary.

He had to have a CT scan.
Waiting for results is scary.*

More tests follow. They are not nice tests. He has to have his head wired up to a machine. He has to have a lumber puncture which hurts and involves a general anaesthetic.
Ouch and more scary waiting for results.

His temperature is really high.
Its vile watching your child be so ill. Its traumatic making him have these tests.

It will be Christmas soon.
All the doctors will be at home pulling crackers and watching EastEnders.

The PlayStation internet connection has stopped working.
The people who can fix it won't be back until January.**




*So far all results are negative and he's showing no signs of neurological damage.
** This is all Sonny cares about no matter how rubbish he's feeling.
