Hey everyone like Jem not been on for a while but reading everyone’s posts I know we’re all in this together however much we feel alone. Everyone is at different stages of their son’s addiction but we can all resonate with each other as we go through our individual story. My heart goes out to each and everyone of you my Adfam family because you are like that friend we don’t see for ages but is always there in times of trouble.
My son has supposedly been clean for about 3 weeks now but last Saturday he had a massive seizure. We’re not sure if it is epilepsy (I started having seizures at about his age 33) or cocaine related. The sad thing is it was his weekend to have his son and he was blacked out for a good hour before alarm bells started ringing with his ex who was trying to get hold of him. My poor little grandson was sat as good as gold on the sofa watching scooby doo. We think he might have witnessed it as he said “daddy was dreaming in his pants” ????. After sorting the little one out and comforting him we had to call an ambulance as my son couldn’t move. He’d bitten down so hard on his tongue he couldn’t talk and it was so swollen. 12 hours later an ambulance arrived and he was given gas and air and morphine for the pain. They did a CT scan and were sure he’d had a seizure.
I’m not happy with the hospital though as they discharged him high on morphine without checking his back. Over the week he hasn’t been able to move hardly and we’re convinced he’s fractured his back which can happen if you have a grand mal so he’s going back to A&E to get an x-ray. I don’t know if this is the wake up call he needed we can only hope and pray it is.
Love and hugs to everyone ❤
