Getting there

Kanye is recovering. Slowly.

He continued to vomit until midnight last night then he stopped and hasn't since.

This morning he managed to drink some coconut water and keep it down so that was a break through especially as when I called the neurology nurse this morning she said if he doesn't drink or keep things down or has seizures or is lethargic i would have to take him into hospital for re hydration via IV as low electrolyte levels can cause severe seizures worse than the ones he has.

So I was hugely relieved when he drank and kept it down.

He's exhausted though he started having seizures in the night and they stopped mid morning only to have one at lunch.

He's sleeping a lot which is good his poor wee body will be shattered. As well as the tummy bug making him unwell and dehydrated, seizures cause his body to burn sugars, fats and many other things. His body expends vast amounts of energy during a seizure and needs to sleep immediately which the neurologist has said is the brains way of recovering from the electrical excitement and surges.

This afternoon he managed to sit up for a bit and play on the ipad but it was short lived before lying back down to sleep.

I feel awful for him as he doesn't understand any of what's happened and was happening to him at the time, he gets upset and disoriented.

On a brighter note Marley had his athletics today so while my mum stayed by Kanye at home i came to see Mar. He did really well and I was so proud of the effort he put in.

Blipping now while I have the chance. Tomorrow will be a better day for my Kanye I'm sure.
