Never thought Id ask this

Im a wreck right now. My hubby had more seizures today at work and I had to leave my work early to race to the ER for him. He was having a seizure again when I got there. It was nerve wracking because he was still having a seizure when paramedics arrived at his work and they had to cut up his clothes to get a place to put an IV in his arm. Seeing his clothes with his sleeves split sent me in a downward spiral and yet again Drs couldnt determine a cause.

Im so scared that one of these seizures will take him away from me and the kids. My 5 yr old talks about statues when referring to death as hes been through a few family losses before. And even though my hubby isnt his biological Father, he is the closest to a Father figure my boy has and I cant help thinking about one of these days having to tell him why his "buddy" - thats what he calls my hubby - is a statue.

I know Im thinking grim but Im so lost right now on how to think. He cried a little in the ER when the nurss helped him get dressed because they cut through his clothes. It killed me seeing my steady rock crumble like he did. I just dont know what to do anymore.

Thanks guys. My Dad helped me get some ease of mind reminding me of the time he was mugged. If it hadnt of happened then Drs at the VA never would of known about his tumor. So it reignited my Dad's Catholic faith. Everything happens for a reason.

Well I got woken up by my 5 yr old crying for me saying "Buddys shaking!" so I ran up to him just in time to catch him so he wouldnt fall. My mom called my Dad who came over and picked my hubby up and carried him to the couch. That was scary enough cause my hubby's 150lbs and my Dad has asthma. I could hear his breathing, it was terrible. What reason in the world could this be happening for? - I asked my Dad that but he couldnt answer.

I'm so sorry you are having to go through this.  I really don't know what to say.. as I have never went through this.  I do know many people that have seizures and has been having them for many many years and they are okay.. they just take their medicine.  Do you guys know what exactly is wrong with him to be causing seizures?  Does he take medicine for them?  If not I would be getting some answers and getting some medicine to help.
