Mike's Seizure

It's with great sadness that I write this post.

Mike had a seizure yesterday while we were walking down the sidewalk getting ready to take a bus tour of Mexico City. He is in a hospital right now, but we still may make our original flight home on Thursday.

He is feeling pretty good and he is receiving good medical care. Unfortunately, most of the docs and nurses do not know English so I am doing my best to interpret. Several tests and x-rays have been completed. Mike had a seizure (his first) last August and the docs think that fact, combined with his high blood pressure, and the 1.5 mile altitude of Mexico City may have caused the seizure. His docs in Seattle will need to further investigate.

The managers of Inter Act have been just wonderful in helping us through this ordeal. And all 3 of them know English so they have been very helpful in that regard.

Please keep Mike in your thoughts and let's hope for a speedy recovery.

Oh no! Is everything ok? I'm sure they'll take wonderful care of him. I hope this doesn't alter your plans in any way. I can imagine how devastating that would be.

Take care of yourselves!

Oh, how very frightening. Medical care in Mexico is great and they expect the family to want to spend the night. I recommend Star Medica as a wonderful hospital group, I understand that they have a hospital in Mexico City.
