Evening

Mark seemed very comfortable tonight. He gave his mom a pinky wave and puckered up for a kiss. It seems the hardest thing he has to overcome is opening those eyes. I'm going to talk to the doctor tomorrow about his medications. I know he was on Dilantin for seizures, although he's never had one and they changed it to another medication because he developed a rash. I'm hoping they can cut back on this and see if it changes his sleepiness.

A body gets used to Dilatin then has reactions after a pause in use.
Another wise call Chris.

Dilantin is a VERY powerful drug. It is given at times to present seizures. A seizure can be a devastating thing and they are probably trying to prevent further damage from happening. It is usually closely monitored. My wife was on it for some time and they generally wean you from it (I believe) rather than just stopping it. Ask questions.... I found Jefferson staff to be very helpful when we were going there. "Things" do happen quick and come at you fast. Please take care of yourself.... and we WILL be praying for you as well.
