In Austin

Our 8 hour trip took 11 hours but we made it.
The past 2 days Brae has been running random fevers. We had not had any convulsion seizures just stare outs. Brae and I started out this morning for our doctors appointments in Austin. Almost 3 hours from the house I heard a sound and adjusted my mirror, Braden was seizing. I immediately pulled over and got him as much room as possible so he wouldn't break the window hitting it with his head. It last about 3 minutes. He responded well after it ended. I began trying to figure out what to do we were 30 minutes from the nearest town Atoka and about an hour from Durant the next biggest town. I got in touch with our Austin doctor he called in a prescription to the next town for Ativan to get him on as well as a refill on our Diastat. I assessed the situation again in Durant. After leaving Durant and getting the meds in his system he has been fine and the rest of the trip was uneventful. It was quite frustrating and I felt helpless being that far from a hospital. Thankfully we were blessed with a relatively short seizure and fast recovery time. We had debated to go into ER upon our arrival here or to go to our regular appointment. We confirmed with the doctor and since at this time he has no fever and is awake alert and doing fine we are waiting until the morning. Unless something changes tonight which we were blessed our doc was on call.
