Say what?

This is how Kade looked after his sinus surgery. They made an incision right between his eye and nose. They drained all the sinus' and his eye socket of all the infection. They also went up the right nostril and cleaned out the sinus' from there to. He had been on IV antibiotic since before surgery. His eye stared to look better, but he never felt a lot better. He started eating and walking, but only after we made him. He was still so tired and still had bad headaches.

Saturday Kim came in and stayed with Kade while I went home to see the other kids and go to church. I remember thinking that I should go to church because I had prayed for so many things the last couple of days. As it turned out, I'm glad I went to church to feel the spirit to be a little bit more prepared for the next week. Sunday after church I packed my little red suitcase with clothes for two days and a pair of pj's. I went in to see Kade. Kim left that night to go back home. The next morning as we waited for the Dr. to make his rounds. I looked over at Kade and I noticed one eye was open more than the other one. "Kade? Kade, can you hear me?" I ask. Silence. The nurse walks in and I ask her what's wrong with him. "I think he's just sleeping with his eyes open. Sometimes they do that." Kade moans. "Kade are you o.k.?" "Yes", he replies. Ten minutes later. Same thing. I touch him, pat his shoulder and then gentle shake his shoulder. Eyes open, but no response. I have a cousin who has seizures like this and at this point I know exactly what it is. I call the nurse. "I think those are seizures." I say to the nurse. The Dr. walks by our room. I grab him and drag him into the room just as Kade has another one. "I think they are seizures." I say again. "I do too.", the Dr. replies. A short time later we are preparing for a MRI. The next hour or so is a blur, and I seriously can't remember who or what exactly was said. I do know that they told me the infection had spread to his brain and that the pediatric nuerosurgeon was out of town. I was asked if I would like to fly to Salt Lake City or Seattle. I asked what the difference between to two was. He said it depended on what kind of family support I had in the two places. I said Salt Lake City. 3:00 was the time that our flight from Missloula, MT to Salt Lake City, UT was scheduled. We rode the ambulance to the airport in Mt and another ambulance to Primary Childrens Medical Center in UT. Kade doesn't remember either of the rides or the 1 hr 45 minute flight. He was so sick and medicated.
