Wed 04/25/12 - Seizure at 2:30pm

Alright! Hey everyone; this is Breck herself, also able to keep things updated. I'm sure it just might be very easy to tell whether my mother or I are speaking...just cause...it actually makes me laugh, thinking of the two different stories either my mother or I can give when I'm having a seizure.

They can be like the one this last Sunday...where I don't remember a thing except all the sudden I'm on the floor with people above me, or I feel the seizures coming and all the sudden look down and see a line of drool all over my shirt or a puddle on my desk or the floor. Those can be so embarrassing at times, and yet...they can also be the type I'm most grateful for, able to know what really happened. At other times, sometimes with other seizures, I'm able to still at least smile at the ridiculous memory.

Real fast, I'll include how I did have another seizure today in my sixth hour, but we had a substitute in class so I wasn't even about to try and explain...so hoping I could get out in time I just went up to her right away as I felt it coming and asked if I could go to the restroom. She was really nice and said yes right away. As soon as I was out the door my legs felt crumbly and I sat down right there outside against the wall. And then...next thing I know, seems to me to be a second later although I know it wasn't...I looked down and my shirt and pants were covered in their waterfalls of drool...ha, I know it is really gross, but at the same time, no one else was there...no one else was even walking around me for even me to tell if I'd just missed them taking some steps or something; I am so grateful, for this confirmation that I had even had a seizure, instead of me being paranoid.

I've heard so many different stories, of what happens during these seizures, but one of my favorites, as I was about to tell before talking of my seizure in sixth hour, is the time I felt one coming and told my mom, since I was here at home and we were actually making some food, bean and cheese burritos. She sent me to the couch and as soon as she could, she brought me a burrito. It was great, as are all of our burritos, so I then was just trying to ask for another one when my mom and dad just stood there and were laughing at me! I got so frustrated! What was wrong with them?! I finally just went to sleep, turning my back on them.

Waking up a while later, I found out their whole point of the story. To me, my words were all making sense, but they say I just kept saying the same sentence over and over. "Get the secretary out of the tire. Get the secretary out of the tire!" Ha, oh that is only one of the funny stories we have with these seizures. I truly do have a marvelously wonderful family. I know my mom has probably heard me say this over and over again, but I truly do feel my family and my greatest friends who have seen these seizures are the most absolute greatest of people! I do love all of them so so very much, for all that they go through, watching me have these most scary sounding seizures...I've only ever seen a couple which my mom has shown me videos of, but other than that, I never seem to catch anything except the feeling of them coming and then all of the sudden people's faces around me.


I also do know I have such a strong testimony, which is also one of the only things which feels to be getting me through. I could warn all who are reading this now...ha, I will try and keep them shorter from now on but I really might also end everything with an ending of my testimony. I truly do know without a doubt I am not going through these seizures without a reason, and I truly do know without a doubt I have a loving Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ, who love me, and I love them. I know they will never give me anything which I can't handle, and I thank them for everything they're giving me with these seizures, including all the true friends I'm coming to find and wonderful love I'm able to feel from so many around me. My heart is so full of love. Thank you so much everyone. Love you! And I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
