Another unexpected ER trip

So you all know that our family has been through many terrifying moments, but last night we had a situation that shook me to my core.  I’m still processing, trying to cope, and trying to help my kids work through it all.

Jason came home from work around six o clock. He walked into our room where I was helping Noah pack for his Japan trip.  He walked into the kitchen, took a bite of a muffin, walked back into our room and sat down on a chair.  He said he didn’t feel well.  I begin to ask him questions and he had a hard time answering.  Out of the blue his eyes rolled back into his head and he fell back into his chair and had some convulsions.  He was unresponsive, I was yelling for him to wake up, my other two kids ran into the room and witnessed this all happening.  I called 911 and while I was on the phone with them answering their questions he came to.  He was very confused, pale, and still not feeling quite right.  The paramedics came and took him to the hospital.  It was a whirlwind and I had never felt so helpless.  I was trying to console my younger two, while my oldest put on my shoes so that I could get to the hospital.  When we arrived to the hospital  Jason looked good and the doctors were running some tests.  The doctors are unclear why he had this episode.  We will follow up with his regular doctors today and go from there.

I never thought I would be writing an update like this about my husband on this blog.  He is our Rock, our healthy one.The one we rely for everything. I’m thankful in so many ways.  Thankful that it wasn’t worse, thankful for Noah and the ways he stepped up for me and was so calm.  


Please would you all pray for Jason, for our kids, for me as we process this and move forward to get answers.  Thankful for you all.
