Damonito took an ambulance ride to the hospital on Friday night. When having a seizure, he's always given some time to come out of it on his own. When that doesn't work, he's given rescue medication. And when that doesn't work, a call goes out to 911. If luck is on his side, the paramedics will be able to get the seizure under control and Damonito will take a ride to Phoenix Children's Hospital. If not, then it's the closest hospital, and eventually he'll be moved to Phoenix Children's Hospital. The problem with going anywhere else is they don't know his history, Nicole has a binder but often the medical staff isn't prepared for someone with Dravet Syndrome. This is not to say they aren't great, they are, but his condition is so rare and his treatment is so aggressive that simply absorbing everything that he is going through is a challenge.
Damonito is going to be ok. His medication has been adjusted. Again. It's a never ending battle to find the all elusive "right balance." And even then, the balance changes and the search continues.
