Two weeks ago my son was in his group spelling session where he told his practioner MIGHT SEIZE. I made a post about it. He told us the next day a few things of what he experiences. "I’M NINETY PERCENT SURE MY BODY FLOODS FROM SO MUCH LACTIC ACID." I'm sorry to report my son had back to back seizures at spelling on Thursday. They were different from the usual. He kept his eyes open when he usually falls asleep & he was unresponsive. It was terrifying to witness. After about 10 minutes he went into a second seizure as the paramedics had just arrived. We called for an ambulance because this seizure was different. He has been hospitalized since having all kinds of tests run. After taking some blood in the emergency room they ran some tests. The doctor told me he had very elevated lactic acid. That's exactly what my son said happens. I will never question the authenticity of spelling & the fact our kids are "in there" if given a means to communicate. Please pray that my son can come home soon & we figure these seizures out. ❤️ x.com/i/status/20525…





Today, I signed a targeted PREP Act declaration to support the development and deployment of medical countermeasures related to Andes virus, which can cause the deadly respiratory illness Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome. This action helps remove barriers to research and response efforts while we continue monitoring the recent outbreak linked to the South Atlantic cruise ship. HHS is taking this situation seriously and will continue working to protect public health and support the safe development of potential treatments and countermeasures.
