When you have a seizure

"If you have a brain, then you can have a seizure!" I saw an ad stating this yesterday and thought, how true. Seizures are unpredictable, or so they say. I think Elijah would argue that point because his seizures act up with the weather and usually when there's something he desperately wants to do. Like today!

Elijah was excited to go out to eat. Sitting down at a restaurant isn't something that we do very often so, it's kinda a big deal when we do. We were enjoying our breadsticks, waiting on the pizza when the tell tale stare happened. The pizza came, there was some twitching some verbal irregularities and trouble cutting the pizza. His head started to hurt and we still had to go to Wal Mart.

Seizures take a lot of time out of your life if you let them. Elijah tries not to and with the promise of picking out a new pillow, we went to Wal Mart. Elijah rode around Wal Mart in a cart. Motor control was still a bit of an issue, but we got his winter clothes and groceries. There were lots of comments from people that they would like to ride through Wal Mart in a pillowed cart. Elijah had a hard time understanding why someone would choose to ride around a store like he was. I explained to him that the people didn't know that he had seizures, they just thought he was having a good time.
His response? "Well when they have a seizure then they can ride in the cart! I'll trade with them any day!" Me too buddy, me too!
