Small setback

Bill's back at Cleveland Clinic. On Friday, he fell in the middle of the night and gave himself a black eye. Linda rushed him to the ER, and they thought it might have been another seizure. But it looks like he's having side affects from one of his seizure medications -- Vimpat. He's doing well at the hospital and possibly going home today. Doctors will be weaning him off Vimpat, thank goodness. I know these drugs are life-saving, but at high levels, like Dad's taking, they can be toxic.

I've talked to Dad several times. He's trying to stay positive but can't help but be discouraged with setbacks.

I'll keep you posted...

  1. Always praying. Let us know when he gets home. Nicki just sent an Ally's Army t-shirt up to him.
