Seizures?????

Today was a different kind of day. Not so nice but with a happy end. Early morning about 5.30 Celina started having some short seizures. She already had some yesterday evening. She had some a couple of nights ago too. Then they were gone and last night they started again. The nurses and myself started going through the meds, what was newly given, what was different. Where did this come from??? Then in the afternoon Bev said she wanted to call the stand in doctor if we could leave the next dose of ponstel because this was the only new medication she got. We just changed it from syrup to capsule. Same ingredient. Still did not seem to make sense. Then suddenly I thought that a couple of days ago we tried one capsule and it was the following night that she had the seizures. We went back to the syrup because Celina still had the nasal gastric tube in and it would be easier to give the syrup especially at night. And the seizures were gone again. So, yesterday after taking out the nasal gastric tube we changed both syrups, one to tablet and one to capsule. And guess what??? The seizures started again and worse then the first time. The nurse called the doctor and he agreed to stop it for now and just see what happens.
Later I checked the package of the syrup and thought I am going to get the package of the capsules tomorrow to see what the difference is. I looked at the package paper and the ingredients and my eyes fell on the mg's it was a whole 100 mg less in the dose of the  syrup Celina had then what was in the capsule and the paper was for both concerning the side effects and everything else. So, I read it and guess what, in effects of overdose was standing seizures. Wow, now it started coming together. Besides that, I then on top if it found out that this medication is an anti inflammatory and Celina is not supposed to be on those because of the stomache ulcers she had last year. I am so happy God lead us to this and we took her of it. By the evening our little angel was soooo much better and was laughing such a lot and had not a single seizure anymore.
What a change. It is amazing what one medication can do if our bodies do not agree with it or one takes to much. I am so happy that our gorgeous girl is back to normal. I am so exited and rejoicing.
With every seizure I was praying and asking the Lord to show us what it was, to show us what was the cause. And he did.
Our big great God.
Thank You Lord, You are amazing.
