If you have kids, you know how stressful things can get and it is not always due to their behavior. Sometimes it’s their health!

Our oldest son Jackson has been having a series of odd “spells.” That sounds like what your relatives say when 90 year-old Great Aunt Millie does a swan dive into her buternut squash soup at Christmas dinner, “Pick Aunt Millie out of her soup and BE CAREFUL OF HER WIG, she’s had one of her spells again!”

Jackson has been falling a sleep, mid-sentence and can not be woken up and it’s not for lack of trying. The kid is out! Cold! He is a typically active nine year-old boy who sleeps for an average of nine to nine and a half hours a day, so what the…that’s what the doctors want to find out!

Last night we kept him up all night, he went strong ’till 4 AM, then I got him up made him touch his toes a few times and walk around, but had to let him sleep a little at 5. The idea was not to torture him, but he had to sleep during his EEG test this morning. Try being nine, having all this hooked to your head and being told, “Go to sleep!” He did and we’ll get the results later in the week.
