I was making breakfast when Liam and Lila walked in
Liam: where's dad?
Sheryl: he had an early meeting. Is James up?
Liam: no I don't think so
Sheryl: right grab a plate and eat
I went up to check on James and he was still fast asleep. I shook him awake
James: mmm
Sheryl: how you feeling kiddo?
James: head hurts
Sheryl: you feeling up for school?
James: mhm
Sheryl: let's get you your meds and breakfast okay
James: mhm
We went downstairs and I gave him a plate as well as his meds.
He took his meds and had some toast and a milkshake. After 10 minutes the colour drained from his face and he ran upstairs. I went after him and he started throwing up into the toilet. He threw up a few times before falling to the floor exhausted.
Sheryl: you okay kiddo?
He started gagging again and threw up on the floor next to him
James: sorry
Sheryl: hey it's okay
James: I didn't mean to
I went to put my hand on his shoulder but he flinched away
Sheryl: hey James. It's me Sheryl. You're okay. You're safe
James: sh-Sheryl
Sheryl: yes honey it's me
James: feel weird
Sheryl: seizure weird?
James: weird
His hand started twitching
Sheryl: you still with me kiddo?
James: mhm
Sheryl: right I'm gonna work from home so I can keep an eye on you okay
I looked down at him and his face was twitching. He came around quickly but shortly went into another one. This happened at least 20 times in the next 7 minutes. He came around and his hand went to his head
Sheryl: your head hurting?
James: mhm
Sheryl: go to your bed and I'll bring you up some paracetamol
I went downstairs and Liam was tying Lila's shoelaces
Liam: I'll take her to school
Sheryl: thank you Liam
Liam: bye mum love you
Sheryl: love you too
Lila: love you
Sheryl: love you too
They both left and I went back upstairs with the paracetamol. I walked into his room and James was fast asleep. I put the paracetamol on the side with a bottle of water. I took his temperature and he was a little hot. I opened a window and went downstairs and got on some work on the laptop.James PoV
I woke up and looked at my phone. It was 2 in the afternoon. My head was pounding and everything was spinning. My stomach was cramping and I felt so hot but cold at the same time. I was dripping in sweat. Everything was very fuzzy and glitchy.
James: sh-Sheryl?
No answer
I went to the top of the stairs and as I was about to sit down everything just went black.Sheryl pov
I was on a meeting call when I could hear thudding down the stairs.
Sheryl: I gotta go
I ran out to the living room and James was at the bottom of the stairs seizing but he was laid in an awkward position. His head was bleeding and his arm was obviously broken. I put a jacket under his head and called for an ambulance
Dispatch: 999 what's your emergency?
Sheryl: I have a 11 yr old male who's fallen down the stairs and is currently having a seizure
Dispatch: is he breathing?
Sheryl: yes but I need an ambulance
Dispatch: sending one straight away
Sheryl: he's been throwing up and has had high seizure activity. He's epileptic
Dispatch: ambulance is on the way
Sheryl: thank youI opened the front door for the paramedics. James was still seizing and we were approaching 5 minutes and it wasn't showing any sign of slowing down. I ran and got his rescue medication and gave it to him. It calmed the seizure down and slowly came to a stop but shortly after went into another.
??: Paramedics
They walked in and I stepped to the side
Sheryl: he's had back to back seizures
They put a collar on him and a splint on his arm. They put him on a stretcher and took him out to the ambulance and I followed.
Paramedic: we'll be going on blue lights okay
We arrived at the hospital and they took him straight in. I quickly rung DavidDavid: is everything okay?
Sheryl: no
David: what's going on?
Sheryl: James is in hospital
David: what happened?
Sheryl: he had a seizure and fell down the stairs
David: shit
Sheryl: you're gonna have to pick Lila up from school
David: yeah of course. Lemme know how he is
Sheryl: will doDr Hendrix: Nurse Adams
Sheryl: how is he?
Dr Hendrix: we've managed to stop the seizure. We're gonna take him up for a ct
Sheryl: okay
Dr Hendrix: we've done an X-ray and he's broken his arm. It's a clean break so we can easily put it back in place. Maggie wants to see you
Sheryl: okay
I went up to maggies office.
Sheryl: you wanted to see me?
Maggie: yes how is James?
Sheryl: it's not good but I know that's not what you wanna see me about
Maggie: I just wanted to let you know that we are all here to support you. We all understand that this is a tough time so take the time you need
Sheryl: thanks Maggie
Maggie: you know if you wanna talk
Sheryl: I just I don't know how to help him. I sometimes wonder whether we made the right choice in taking him in
Maggie: you are the best people for that boy
Sheryl: yeah well it doesn't feel like that
Maggie: the fact that you're overthinking it shows that you care about him
Sheryl: I do. It's just when he's seizing I just feel so hopeless and I know there's not much I can do. When he comes around he's not bubbly or hyper like he normally is. He's drained and tired
Maggie: that's what seizures do. Are they becoming more frequent?
Sheryl: yeah he's having more bad days
Maggie: I'll get Abrams to do an eeg on him
Sheryl: thank Maggie
Maggie: Jennifer is gonna cover you for the rest of the week but you can still do paperwork at home
Sheryl: thanks. I should go he's probably out of ctI went back to his room and he was still asleep. I went out the room with dr Hendrix
Dr Hendrix: CT is good. We've stitched the cut on his head and put his arm in a cast. Abrams has an eeg on him. It's gonna be on for the rest of the day
Sheryl: so why did this all happen?
Dr Hendrix: a stomach bug. It triggered the neurones in his brain to misfire triggering the seizures
Sheryl: so he'll be better once it clears?
Dr Hendrix: yes
