Some of you may remember back in February when my wife, Jennifer, had a blackout/seizure issue and had to spend a night in the ER and go through every test in the book. Well it happened again today while she was at work. For those that don't know my wife is 2 months away from her master's in Nurse Anesthesia, and has a job lined up with St. Vincent's as a CRNA. She had another episode today; she did not know where she was, had seizure like activity, etc. We spent 6 hours in the ER. They did an EEG, CT Scan and blood work: all negative for epileptic seizures. If they find her positive for epileptic seizures she will probably not be able to finish school, practice medicine or drive for an extended period. In short, it would ruin what she has spent 6 years in school and 2 years in the field working towards. My wife is the most driven and determined person I know and this would kill her drive and spirit.
Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. We need to find the cause of these episodes, and hopefully it will not be epileptic in nature.

She had her gallbladder removed today and is recovering from the surgery. Man I tell you she cannot catch a break. Anyways, 7 hours at the hospital today and now we are crashing..
