Debbie had a good first part of last week but suffered a strong seizure at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. We were about to have dinner when the seizure occured. She was taken to Cookeville Regional Hospital Emergency and admitted that night and immediately given Keppra, a seizure preventing drug. Deb seemed to recover fully from the seizure in about 30 minutes but was hospitalized for tests and treatment. Drs said tests showed no additional damage from the seizure......praise the Lord! However she was diagnosed as being anemic and given two units of blood Friday. Dr said this was normal for patients who have been hospitalized for long periods, especially when several blood tests are performed. Dr also said Debbie would need to take the Keppra always to prevent future seizures. I pray she never has another.
Debbie was released from the hospital this afternoon and transported back to NHC of Cookeville. I think she was happy to be back with her caregivers there. After a good dinner, Deb was resting comfortably and had that beautiful smile. God is good!
Thank each of you for keeping her in your prayers and we wish you all a blessed week.
