please help please help
hi my name is jody thomas. my husband is shawn thomas. we have a 3 year old daughter named alyssa. march 8th our world turned upside down. my husband on his way to work slid on ice on a bridge rolling it 3 times. suffered tramatic head injurys, broken clavicle, broken pelvis, collapsed lung. its been 7weeks and 4days still in coma. is now in rehab. has shown some inprovement. devoloped deep vein thrombosis which required him to be put on blood thinners. also on 3 different siezer meds. about a week ago we noticed that he would have these spells where all his muscles would become tight his blood pressure and pulse would sky rocket, he has alot of stange movements with his arms and his legs would stiffin out. then after a few min. would relax for a min. then right back into the spell again. seems to be getting worse day by day. nuerologist says that they are spasims, med doctors says that they are some type of siezer. we do not know where to turn. we are worried about his heart rate and blood pressure being so high during these spells which are happening most of his wakeful hours. he was put on a antispasmatic med. which i think did help with the shaking while having these spells but not with the other symptoms. so we was wondering if any body that has experienced this please contact me. hopefully there was some type of med or something that helped another person. please help please help
