Danny had a tough weekend with seizures. He had 2 during the night on Saturday and another Sunday morning. We think he bit his tongue again during the first one and now he just doesn't want to eat or drink anything. Danny and Kermit were both troopers as always. He wouldn't leave his side all night and into Sunday. He just hates when Danny feels bad. While Kermit can't make the seizures go away, he can provide comfort. Kermit did a good job alerting but it is harder to pinpoint when they will come due to the clustering of them. The trainer said it does become difficult for dogs when the seizures start running together. But Kermit did great.....he just stayed with his boy to make sure he didn't miss anything. We sometimes wonder if Kenny is becoming desensitized to such a life of unexpectancy. Between the autism and the seizures you just never know from day to day. When we told him we were going to call EMS and to keep the dogs with him since they would probably be anxious with all the commossion, he just said no problem and stayed in his room. While we worry about him dealing with so much, especially with Danny being his only sibling, we remember that he is building compassion and resilence with each day. I think Kenny has learned to respect Danny for what he goes through but how strong and happy Danny always is. We're lucky parents and truly blessed.
