My BIL is in hospital, suffering from seizures. He's now unresponsive.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

He recently had a severe rotator cuff injury, and just last week had the corrective surgery (this is the second time he's gone through this). Earlier today while at home he began having seizures and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. I just got word from my sister that the seizures are continuing, and he's taking a real beating. This may or may not be a side effect of the surgery- there are no answers yet.

I'm on call to drive my sister to the unit- she wants him moved to Baylor intensive care (downtown Dallas). If they agree it's gonna be a long night for us all.

5. Something similar happened to a friend of mine

He had surgery on his knee and a week later went into seizures and cardiac arrest (twice). It was a thrombosis which broke free and went to his heart and lungs. He almost died and it took a couple of years before he was back to normal.

I hope everything works out OK.

18. That's scary!

I've heard that can happen from a blood clot cutting loose. Hope they get him stabilized soon!

20. Update

He has stopped seizing and is now able to talk. The doctors still don't know the root cause, so the tests continue. Nothing else is certain at this time.

26. Get him a brain scan, just to be sure

Rule out a tumor, or if there is one, get it treated early. I just lost my BIL to that.
