The brat gets discharged on Wednesday. Is back to his usual high octane self. Wakes up Thursday morning six am and insists on going to school. He hadn't thrown up for two days. He had gotten the all clear from the doctor. Mamma dropped him off at school. At around one, Mamma gets a call from school. "Brat's Mamma?"
Mamma's limbs go numb. "Please reach K hospital asap. Brat collapsed in class. They've taken him to the ICU. "
Mamma would have collapsed had she not been in the car already. Traffic all the way, Mamma a blubbering mess. Land at hospital run like a mad woman to ICU. Brat all groggy, he had had a seizure in class. Afebrile. The fever came to the surface post seizure. We've just been discharged after three more days in the hospital. A partially treated stomach infection the first time round led to this.
For two days he was feverish and groggy and non responsive. This morning the nurse came in to sponge him and stripped him of his clothes. He squawked in embarassment and drew the bedcovers around him. She perservered. She put the warm washcloth to private regions. He yelled. Loud enough for the entire hospital to hear. "Don touch my nu nu. Mamma, shez tuchin my nu nu. Shaoud at her. "
Yup. That lesson has been well learned. And yes, mamma just returned home and washed her face at the washbasin to find new chunks of grey at her hairline.

Oh my - sounds like a harrowing time for all, you most of all.
Hope Krish recovers fully very soon - and you get a spa day or something to decompress.

Hugs to both of you. Hope and sending up a prayer to God that's the last of K's seizures. Sonny boy had it once last year, and the husband and I have never been thru a more harrowing hour (time it took to drive to the hospital). Poor Krish.
It must have been tough for Kiran. Praying that Krish recovers fully soon. Hugs to both of you.
Sorry to hear this Kiran. Hope he is ok now? Big Hugs to you and Krish. Here's wishing the brat a speedy recovery.

Hats off to you for your spirit!!
Take care and speedy recovery to brat.
