Overnight hospital visit

Tom had a seizure last night at 4:00am. He called my name out and immediately had a grand mal seizure i.e. extreme tensing and shaking of the entire body, foaming at the mouth, eyes wide open looking into space, urinating, rapid breathing, talking nonsense/unintelligable speech, etc.

I called 911 and they sent an ambulance to our house and took him to the hospital. At this point, they are doing brain scans to determine what may have caused the seizure. He seems fine now, normal. As usual, he asked me to set up his laptop so he could do some work. That's Tom for ya.

Thank you Jay. Tom enjoyed seeing you all as well. The seizure was only a drug reaction. Very minor.
