Seizure's
did not come every day or even every week during Riley's sixth year. When a seizure did arrive, it was an
Event. Occasionally it even meant
calling in paramedics and a trip to the ER to put an end to Riley's convulsions
when our own medications and interventions were not enough to help him.
One
day, driving my boys from one appointment to another, Ronan observed a
Walgreens drugstore. He explained to me
as we drove by the landmark in his matter-of-fact three year old manner:
“If I
go to Walgreen’s, I don’t have seizure’s!”
He had
put it all together!
He
recognized Walgreens yet the McDonald's next door to it went unnoticed. Not many three-year olds have seizure in
their vocabulary or need to consider how to manage the disorder. I laughed.
I cried. How sad that he had to
understand seizures. How amazing that a
three year old was planning how not to have seizures.
