U of C Days 12 through 17: ICU

Most of this week was pretty uneventful until today. I was at home with the girls and got a call from one of Leo's doctors here at U of C. He told me that Leo had a seizure this morning and it lasted about a minute. He had a fever this morning and they think the seizure may have resulted from that, but it may have also resulted from one or some of his meds. There are some other more serious reasons that may have caused the seizure, so they are doing a bunch of tests on him now to rule that out. He still has his fever and now has a sore throat and productive cough. After discussing further with the nurse that was taking care of him at the time, she said he may have had 2 seizures, the first he was on his own and the second happened when she and the doctors were in the room, as he was laying in his bed unresponsive. He is stable now, just feeling like crap from all the drugs and his still uncontrolled blood pressure.

That's all I have for now. Hopefully we will get more details tomorrow. Hope you all enjoyed your weekend.
