Hospitals

So this past Friday Mikee was admitted into the hospital because his seizures were uncontrollable and left his whole left side paralyzed for 3 days. We went through the normal procedures...Go to the ER, give him the shot to help control seizures (which never really works), watch Elmo in grouch land (every time we are there) wait for a few hours for the doctor to come in and tell us that they have consulted his normal doctors in Seattle children's and they both came up with the conclusion that they have no clue on whats going on with mikee, that the seizures are more sever but the tests are all coming up normal.So they want to admitted him for a night to monitor. Mikee seizes alittle more. Screams because he is a 3 year old who is trapped to a bed with wires and an IV and doesn't understand while he can play.Then we go to bed and wait for the doctor to come back in the morning to tell us nothing has changed, that there isn't much they can do for mikee, that the doctor in Seattle is now passing on Mikees case to yet ANOTHER doctor, and that we can either stay in the hospital for another night or bring mikee home. We decided to bring him home so we can monitor him and so he can be comfy. Fun way to spend your weekend, No? What i don't understand is how can we be apart for 2 amazing hospitals, and have 25 doctors working with him, and not one of them can figure this thing out....I'm sick of hearing that mikees condition is a rare one, that its a Mystery... not the most comforting thing for a mother to hear. I know that God is in control, I understand that, but i would love for him to clue me in on a few things, that would be nice!
