Hi everyone. I just had a terrible few nights and had to go to the ER for hydration. I had what I thought was that superbug, which hits the intestines. After a few days of vomiting and the runs I knew I wansnt keeping down any of the Dilantin and was very week. It turned out after a CAT scan I had a kidney/bladder infection.  I got a few bags of saline solution, zofran for the nausea and my dilantin and a strong antiobiotic through the IV as well. I slept the last few days and go back to the doc tomorrow. Needless to say I feel alot better.

 

Last summer was my first summer dealing with the seizures. Im not sure why but I had a very difficult time staying dehydrated.  along with my meds I have a check off  reminder to increase my fluid intake so I dont have a rebound seizure if I get sick. This may be second nature to you guys but I thought Id mention it to save anyone I can a visit to the ER. Stay well everyone!  Lori
