Merry Christmas...


Damonito had a couple of grand mals and an ambulance ride on Christmas Eve. He's been having more grand mals but this time he was having trouble breathing. It's an instant ride in the ambulance.

His neurologist hasn't been sure why he's having more grand mals but it was determined that the battery is dead on his VNS. We were never sure that the VNS was doing anything anyway, but maybe it really was helping his grand mals. The only way to know for sure would be to replace the battery. Changing the battery would require surgery. All they would have to do would be to open up his shoulder, remove the old battery and replace it with a new battery. He would have to be under anesthesia which his doctor would never agree to. Not now.


He came home before Santa and his crew made his way to the house. Christmas morning was a joy. Damonito got lots of fun stuff.
