Thursday night after leaving my house to go
study, Austin fell asleep and had a really random, probably stressed induced
seizure. Luckily it was still early so his roommate was awake watching movies
in their room and noticed. His roommates carried him out to the truck and to
the ER! Anyways.. the next night we watched Arthur (which btw is super funny)
and then we dozed off and when I woke up he was seizing again, on me! I shook
him for a second, freaking out a bit, before dragging or pushing or whatever I
did, to get him on his side on the floor. I ran in and got his roommates, and
one of them pulled the truck up outside to take him to the ER. Once he was done
seizing he was just unconscious and disoriented. Brian called his mom, and I
got to talk to her for the first time.. best first convo with you boyfriends
mom.. EVER. Not. I just stood there holding his head up in his wheel chair
until the nurse came and got him a room… you know that scene from Princess
Bride where Fezzik is holding up Westly’s head after he’s been tortured and was
“mostly dead”, and it just kinda lolls around when he lets go.. well it definitely
wasn’t funny.. but I did have to laugh just a little at this point (now that I
wasn’t hyperventilating, and everything was relatively OK). Eventually I got to
sit with him (he was pretty precious) until they finished giving him
anti-seizure meds and we got to take him home.
I was home by 430am feeling
super blessed that I was there for the whole thing, and that he was in his
lounge with someone to notice, instead of on his way home from driving me home,
or some other more unfortunate circumstance (HAPPY). AND good news.. I was still
up in time to start watching General Conference this morning which was awesome
and edifying and whatnot (and I got to eat cookies and am still in my PJ’s
which is pretty happy too). Elder Rasband (https://www.lds.org/general-conference/watch?lang=eng) talked about the promise our Elder Brother
and Savior made to the righteous in D&C84 that “I will go before your
face.. and mine angels round
about you, to bear you up”. I felt pretty beared up last night, and know that
if Heavenly Father wasn’t the details of our lives I wouldn’t have had people there
to help me when I needed it.
