we just saw one random seizure. nothing to do. no medications. it s a fluke. right. a fluke made sense. after all charlotte, nicknamed charlie, was born perfectly healthy. a fraternal twin to sister chase. charlie always had big big smiles. just happy kids. easy. yeah, easy. very much so. so it was around three months, you said, that when you first noticed that charlie had a seizure. yeah. i was putting a new diaper on from after the bath and her eyes just started flickering. it led to the first of many trips to the e.r. they did the million dollar workup mri,eeg, spinal tap, the whole workup and found nothing and sent us home. no abnormal blood test, no abnormal scan. and developing normally, too. talking and walking. the same day as her twin. nothing was behind yet.
how s everything going? he had four days without a seizure. i m like wow, this is having success. specifically gervais. this is interesting. it s natural. and while he couldn t ever imagine taking marijuana himself, he was now in the stunning position of recommending it for charlotte. i was like, we need to do this. and i said, i don t know. charlie. there you are. and then, charlotte s condition got worse. 300 seizures a week, almost two every hour. she was not talking or moving. basically catatonic. doctors wanted to use a power epileptic drug used on dogs or put into a coma so her body could rest. for paige those were not good options. but maybe, just maybe, marijuana now was. but she was about to find out how hard that would be.
