Betsy,

I’m glad your ok and have your girlfriend looking out for you! I wondered if my grandson was aware of all that was happening when he went into a crisis. We have had our share of them. My grandson who is 8 yrs old SWCAH got stung last summer up at our pool 4 times. Bees were surrounding him. He freaked out. Luckily it just scared him and he was alright.

On another note he came home from school saying he was sick and collapsed.  I got him to come aware somewhat. We rushed him to the ped. and they gave him 2 shots one was an antibotic and the other the stress does. He had strep throat!!!! 1st time for that.  One day we  were all outside playing and he came to me saying he had a headache. The next thing I know he was out. We gave him a shot & was at the hospital for 4 days. It was a virus. 

Each time that he has had a crisis we were never warned. No signs, not sick just a normal day.  It seems like it happens at the turn of your head.  I always wondered what it was like for him. Your description somewhat makes me wonder what he is going thru. I always felt that he could feel everything that was happening to him. You sense that when you are around them day after day. I feel his pain!!!!!!!!

Take care of yourself Besty and Kirk I’m glad your son is ok.
