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
