My poor Toby had an epileptic fit this morning at 5:30. I just can't believe it happened.The seizure lasted about 4 minutes but of course it seemed much longer. Even if I am used to those situations, it hurts and aches so much each time. As some of you know, my daughter Jennifer and my mom have an epilepsy. I have been living in fear of a phone call for so many years... you know, a call from the hospital. It happened so many times. Last month, my poor mommy had 3 fits within a few hours, it is still very painful to talk about this right now.
I can't admit that my doggie is now in the same pathology, I don't even understand why this happened to him.
Of course we saw the vet this morning, he said that this could happen once in a life with no explanation. If it happens again (hope it will NEVER happen again) Toby will have to get a medication for epilepsy. Since autumn he has had medication for bronchitis. I told the vet that his coughing has increased for a week (I had planned to go to the vet at the end of this week. He made x-rays which showed Toby's lungs are in a poor condition (same as last October), blood test was OK, temperature too. So Toby has to take antibiotics for 12 days and go on taking costicosteroids. If the coughing persists, we'll have to get an appointment with a lungs specialist in an other town (Annecy).
I think Toby had this seizure because he is tired because of his cough. Well, it's just an idea.
Thank you for reading me, I feel very very upset and miserable.
I'll keep you updated.
Tend not to paint much photorealism stuff but would deffinately like to do more.
Interesting concept from vodka and i thought it might look quite good to drop this character.....dropped a piece aswell but didnt turn out as clean as i would have liked so im just uploading this.
Highlight of the day was the woman on a micheal jackson crutch grabbing flex in the rainbow mirrored specks, warning us that the wall could cause a serious accident due to the strong geometric shapes and colours, and if we could take in to account that 5% of 100,000 people that suffer from epilepsy would spaz out in front of this wall.......now i dont know about you but i take this as a compliment....
With that in mind peep this youtu.be/4sbZSoG0zo0
Paducah police has installed white light strobes on their automobiles under the rear view mirrors. These are much brighter than the standard light bars which have been proven to trigger epileptic seizures. This was a medical call the police were not needed. They are also parked in the parking lot so there was no need to run their light bars. Epileptic seizures kill 36000 people a year compared to 20000 people who are murdered. There is no forensic test to prove a seizure was triggered by a strobe. This has been reported cabinet for health and family services who forward it to the cabinet for public safety.

"End Epilepsy!" That was the message Sunday in Tolland at the Epilepsy Foundation of Connecticut's Nationwide Walk to End Epilepsy at Crandall Park. Many thanks to Laura Cassenti, the organizer of the event, and Linda Wallace, executive director of the Epilepsy Foundation of Connecticut, for their tireless efforts to raise awareness and funds to combat this disease. I also want to commend walk attendee Shane Conroy, who is a representative from Athletes Vs. Epilepsy and who was an ambassador and national representative for the walk in Washington, DC. Shane is from Glastonbury and is a swimmer. Shane will attend Ithaca College in the fall. Funds raised by the event go toward research and a summer camp for children with epilepsy. I am proud to walk with Team Justin! Thanks to all for walking in the rain for a great cause!

I'm definitely not the type to dress-up dogs in clothes (other than jackets for cold weather), but when I saw this uh.. dress... in the store, I couldn't resist buying it for Vivian.
I did some pro-bono work for the Epilepsy Association of Calgary last year. I was thrilled to do it, as it is a group very near to my heart - my daughter Emma suffers from seizures.
California State University Northridge 19-year old female student has a seizure on the patio of the Art Center on campus at around 1:30 PM on January 26, 2010.
A fellow male student saw this young woman drinking a cup of coffee while sitting on the table bench, and when he saw her again fi...ve minutes later, he witnessed her fall to the floor, hit the right side of her head on the concrete table, and have a seizure.
California State University Police and fire department were called to the scene, and asked this girl a series of questions such as, "Have you had seizures before?" which she replied "Yes." and "Are you on Seizure medications?" and she replied "Yes." again.
When police asked her what year it was, she said she could not remember, and when she was asked what the date was, she replied "I don't know."
This young lady fell to the floor and as shown in this photo, the coffee splattered all over the floor. She had a large bruise on the left side of her head and a scratch on her cheek.
This young girl had what looked like vomit and coffee on her jacket, and looked disoriented.
A fellow female student helped police look through her phone to contact her parents to let them know of what happened.
She was taken to the hospital for examination and care.
