The day we drove home was Ben's 45th birthday. It was most likely the worst birthday of his life. We left early in the morning. After about 5 hours of driving, Alyssa started having another seizure in the car. She was saying that she couldn't breathe, so Ben drove about 100 mph to the nearest ER about an hour away. The Dr. immediately administered Versed and was able to stop her convulsions pretty quickly, then did a bunch of tests. Her O2, blood sugar, temperature, EKG, brain scan, and blood work all came back normal. So, the etiology remains a mystery. Once she was feeling a bit better, we got back on the road. The ER visit added 3 hours to our already long drive. We ended up getting home after midnight, at which time we finally opened Ben's birthday presents. We were all grumpy from the long, tiring day, so it wasn't very joyous. He got some cool stuff though, tickets to see the Backstreet Boys, a pickle ball set, an xbox controller, a 3D printer, a rubber Docky, a Halo poster and some other stuff. Luckily we enjoyed his birthday cake the night before under happier circumstances.
