When my wife arrived she was shown to my bed that was now in the stretcher bay and I was shaking profusely babbling and not coherent. After a few minutes I was apparently able to recognize her and I asked for water. I wanted a LOT of water.
Moments after I got the water I returned to babbling. The nurses said that it was time for me to go for his MRI so she visited briefly for a few minutes. I was speaking to her through clenched teeth and was still trembling and shaking all over. I was very sick but still no one had any concrete answer as to what was going on.
She spoke to the doctor. He explained that he had some hunches:
• suspected that a small tear was bleeding in William’s neck, • tiny clots that need time to develop and show on the CT scans • or the possible onset of MS.
During my MRI I had a seizure. The test needed to be aborted and I was brought back to the emergency department.
My wife heard commotion behind the curtain but could not see what was going on.
The nurse informed her about the seizure in the MRI and now needs a breathing tube to protect his airway.
As soon as the breathing tube was in I returned to the MRI.
They then moved me up to the ICU and the doctor explained to my wife that I had had two large clots in the veins that carry blood away from the brain. With this blockage, my brain could not equalize it's pressure, causing the headaches, and forcing against my optical nerves.
I was to be moved to another hospital that was better equipped to handle this. My condition was very grave. All arrangements and been made and I was being prepared for immediate transfer.
