Carpe diem

I apologize for not posting more music for y’all lately, but some things are more important than music. My wife rushed my young daughter to the emergency room yesterday morning because she had a short seizure. She had four (in total) before she got a high dose of anti-seizure medication. This is in addition to (and possibly correlated with) the nasty diarrhea she has been having for the past 10 days. The doctors have performed a bunch of tests but we are still waiting for results from most of them.

I’m physically and mentally drained from this (as is my wife). I feel so helpless in this situation that I just want to cry. Maybe that’s just me being overly emo (bad joke, I know). The seizures could be possibly caused by infection of some sort, a neurological problem, or they may simply be idiopathic. At this point its too early to tell. I just want my baby to be ok and back to her normal, happy, sunshiney, smiling self.

I’ll be back to posting music as soon as all this works itself out.
