This afternoon Jadon got another ambulance ride, this time I got to come with him. He had another grand mal seizure, turned blue and passed out. Scared the snot out of me so I called 911. They couldn't determine what was wrong with him so he'll go see a neurologist and his naturopath, we'll get it figured out. This is what they put on his ankles, shoulders and wrists in the ambulance.
