Man, very sorry to hear, Mr. Hog Farmer (Retired). I really cannot imagine what a terrible feeling that must be. Best wishes for you and your family.

Since you apparently live in TX, you might want to check into the Brain Injury Waiver for your wife. Waivers are for Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) that might help your wife on the road to recovery once she is discharged. While I can't be certain because I really don't know the Medicaid waivers in your state, it does look like seizure disorders are included in covered care under the TX Brain Injury Waiver. Talk to a social worker or case manager at the hospital where your wife is at about it.
Good luck. Fat E |

Best of luck to your wife. Stay strong. I'm hoping you both get the answers you need soon so she can be on the road to recovery.

First, don't take this as prescriptive medical advice, but some things that you can potentially look into further or ask your wife's providers about. To answer some of your questions: 1) Yes, an MRI be done to rule out other potential causes of the seizure, given the later onset in life 2) Infection can cause seizures, and an elevated white count is a hallmark sign of infection, especially with a strangulated hernia and a bowel obstruction 3) When someone is in surgery their vitals are closely and constantly monitored. You can ask to speak to the anesthesiologist to see if any of her stats dropped during surgery, and if so, for how long. 4) A cerebrovascular accident can also cause a seizure. Given your wife's age and past smoking history, she would be at a higher risk for a stroke or what some people call mini-strokes. The proper term is a transient ischemic attack, or TIA. There are several other risk factors for CVAs, including high cholesterol levels and a history of diabetes. 5) Low blood glucose (or excessively high) can cause seizures. In hospital, practitioners are more worried about low glucose levels an will attempt to correct blood sugars quickly once they are below ~70. 6) There are several types of focal seizures: focal seizures with dyscognitive features (where they seem alert, but are speaking gibberish), focal seizures without dyscognitive features (where patients may notice a funny taste, tingling, or an aura), and focal seizures that progress to a full, bilateral seizure that affects both sides of the brain. From your description of her presentation, it is more likely (although by no means certain) that she is experiencing focal seizures with dyscognitive features that are progressing to full bilateral seizures (as you described in the OP). However, I would still press hard for the MRI results to see if there are any structural abnormalities in the brain. 7) Have they told you what medications they are using to treat her seizures? I'm very sorry that you have to deal with this. Epilepsy is a bitch.

Thank you Mr. DaFace. You shoulda banned him for a month to teach him some manners or run him off. Prayers sent Mr. HF. Sounds like you're doing the best you can under the circumstances. Find time for a little food and sleep for yourself, you won't do your wife or daughter any good if you go 'til you drop and daughter has to take care of you.

Wow Hog...you're really stretched thin right now. That makes it even tougher to get clarity on your wife's situation.
Just remember you can only be one place at a time, and can only do one thing at a time. Praying that you are able to enjoy your daughter's graduation tomorrow, as tough as it is for your wife not to be there. Maybe see if someone can go with you who can get it on video so you can be free to just enjoy it. Praying!!! |
