The morning after my surgery, I woke up to a very high temperature. I was breathing very fast and heavy and my oxygen kept dropping. Mom wrote to Dr. Zuniga, at CIMA, as Dra Castro was out of town. We have known Zuniga since I was a baby. We went to the emergency room at the private hospital and took xrays of my lungs and ran blood work again. It seemed that I had caught a repsiratory infection while in the other hospital during my stay there. Dr. Zuniga put me on an general antibiotic for 7 days hopefully to kill anything else I caught in the hospital. He told us to stay in town for three more days to see and to keep a close eye if things got better we could go home! Thankfully I got better and we headed home.
One week after being home, I had a seizure called status epilepticus. This type of seizure are the kind that are very very hard to stop. Mom gave me one bottle of Valium, then another bottle. After the second bottle and no signs of stopping an hour later they called the ambulance. The ambulance arrived. It was time to give me the third bottle of valium which needs to be monitored by a doctor in case my heart stops or I respiration goes so low I stop breathing. The doctor and paramedics were very impressed with the small hospital we already had going on at my home. We gave the third bottle and I was on high flow oxygen. The seizure stopped 2 hours and 15 minutes later. It was exhausting for all. My parents were already packing their bags for the emergency plane ride in if my seizure did not stop. Thankfully it did.
