The blink of an eye............

so you are just sitting there.
it's been a long day- a good day, but long
your daughter is tucked in bed,
your husband to be is sitting in a big comfy chair, his boy tucked in with him, cuddling-settling in for the "pre-bed wind down"
you think- Life is good.

then
then you see what your internet research has told you is an ictal smile
A crooked little grin that indicates:
SEIZURE

you watch.
you see the smile, the head nod, the wide eyed stare and dilated pupils.
you wait.
seconds turn into minutes

then
its all over

you are emotionally rung out, knotted and worried.

the boy?
no worse the wear.....or so it seems.

and so life goes on.
