My Crazy Friday Morning

In my perspective I woke up to Karl standing over me yelling my name. I looked at him in confusion and he asked me if I was ok. I didn't answer in shock and just stared at him. He said he was going to call 911. I just laid there in shock and he mumbled to himself that the phones weren't working. Finally he got ahold of 911 and they showed up. To me it seemed instantaneous. I guess there was time in between.... When the EMT's showed up they asked me questions, some of them I answered, but I was stuck on them asking me what day it was and I didn't know the answer.
Karl later told me that the EMT's were trying to decide whether to take me in the ambulance or me go in our own car. I guess I said that I would go in our car because they sent the ambulance away, but then I wouldn't budge from my bed. They got me in the ambulance and it all seemed a blur. Time didn't make sense to me. When we got to the ER they put an IV in me and did some blood work. The numbers were ok, I ended up being dehydrated and low in potassium. Karl showed up with Tyler and then my dad came. Dad took Ty home with him and we waited alittle longer. They told me that I had a seizure and to go see the neurologist near by.
When I got home, Sunny, Debbie, Daryl and Rachel came over. Debbie took Ty ty, Sunny helped around the house, I got a blessing from Daryl and Rachel and Daryl later brought us dinner.
I had spinal menongitis when I was 10 months old. I did have seizures with that too, but really since then nothing major like this happened.
Since friday my body has been revolting against me. My muscles are sore but getting better everyday. I do truly appreciate all my friends and family and the prayers and support they have more than willingly given me and my family.
I will keep you posted on what the dr says.
