Kaylee Jaymie Halstead

The worst happened

I got my phone and scrolled looking eventually reaching dads number. It started ringing and he picked up straight away
Dad: you okay?
Kaylee: I-I erm weirwd (weird) h-head. h-hap'n s-soon
Dad: hey it's okay doll. Just let it happen you'll be okay. I need you to lay on your side for me
I put a pillow on the floor and laid on my side. I placed the phone next to my head so I could still hear dad.
Kaylee: d-dad
Dad: I'm right here peach. I'm right here. I'll be there soon. I'll stay on the phone okay. Just listen to my voice.
Soon enough his voice began to fade. The fuzziness took over and the metallic taste got stronger. I was welcomed by the familiar darkness.

I knew this was gonna happen but I'm glad she rang me. As soon as I could hear her struggled breaths I started a timer. I went to Hank whilst my phone was in speaker.
Jay: pops I need to go. Kaylees having a seizure and I need to be there.
Hank: Go
Jay: tell Hailey for me
I ran to my car and sped home. I got out the car and through the front door. I ran to the living room and Kaylee was still seizing. I looked at my phone and it was at 8 minutes.
Jay: ah shit
I reached over to the coffee table and grabbed her emergency medication and sprayed it up her nose. Within a few seconds, the convulsions slowed to twitches before stopping completely. I moved the hair from her face and just waited for her to come around. After about an hour she began to come around. She looked around really confused.
Jay: hey peach. You've had a seizure but your okay.
She still looked confused and out of it
Jay: peach?
She just looked blankly at me
Jay: I need you to talk to me
She just looked at me confused
Jay: Kaylee Jaymie Halstead I need you to talk to me
It was like she was just looking through me. I picked up my phone and called will
Will: Jay what's up?
Jay: Kaylee had a really bad seizure and she hasn't fully come round. She's still confused and out of it. It's like she's not present. She's just looking blankly through me but it's not an absence. I don't know what to do. Should I bring her in?
Will: do you think she should come in?
Jay: I really don't know will. It's been months since it's been like this. Even then it wasn't this bad.
Will: my shift is over I'm leaving now. I'll be there in 10. I'll stay on the phone
I looked over to Kaylee and her eyes were fluttering shut
Jay: shall I let her sleep?
Will: not until I get there
I shook her gently
Jay: hey Kaylee I need you to stay awake for me
She stayed awake but not responding
Jay: Will she's still not responding to me
Will: how long was she seizing?
Jay: 8 minutes. I had to give the rescue.
Will: and to come around?
Jay: an hour but she hasn't been responsive
Will: I'm outside
Jay: doors open
The call ended
Will ran in
Will: Jay
Jay: Will I don't know what to do

Will pov
Kaylee didn't look good.
Will: I'm just gonna check her over. Test reactions and reflex
I tried to get her attention.
Will: Kaylee it's uncle Will. Can you look at me?
All of a sudden her hand and face started twitching
Jay: why is she twitching?
Will: Jay I need you to go in my bag and get the diazepam
Jay came back with a vial and syringe
Jay: why do you need-
Kaylees eyes rolled back and she started seizing again. I gave her the diazepam and the seizure gradually stopped.
Will: now we wait
Jay: she's getting worse will. The meds aren't working. We're running out of options.
Will: did she take both doses today?
Jay: mhm and it's like she hasn't taken it. It's having no effect. All it does is affects her appetite and sleep.
Will: I'll make an appointment with Dr Abrams see if he can suggest anything. There's the ketogenic diet but I know that Kaylee may not be able to follow it. She struggles with food as it is I'm afraid it will make it worse. There's surgery which may be the better option as it will lessen the frequency and severity of the seizures
Jay: we'll have to see
We were just making small talk when we heard groaning. We looked over at Kaylee but she still looked confused.
Jay: hey peach. You had a seizure but your okay. Uncle wills here too.
She looked over to Jay
Kaylee: d-dad
Jay: how you feeling?
Kaylee: hurt. Sleep
Jay looked at me and I nodded. Jay: Yeah you can go to sleep.
She fell asleep straight away.
Jay: you staying?
Will: if you don't mind
Jay: spare rooms all yours
I went up and fell asleep

I took Kaylee up to bed before getting myself ready. I was laying in bed when I heard the front door. Hailey appeared at the bedroom door peaking her head in.
Hailey: everything okay?
Jay: Kaylee had 2 bad seizures and Wills here
Hailey: okay
Jay: I'm gonna stay up just in case
Hailey: you need to sleep jay
Jay: I will
I put on my glasses and went downstairs onto the sofa. I was watching a film when I heard running upstairs. I went to the top of the stairs and that's when I could hear vomiting. I went to the bathroom and Kaylee was practically hugging the toilet. She threw up again and I held her hair back. After about 5 minutes it seemed to have stopped
Jay: finished
Kaylee: mhm
Jay: let's get you some water
We went downstairs and I gave her a bottle of water
Kaylee: can I stay down where with you?
Jay: sure
We went to the sofa and she was cuddled up to me. I put on a film and we both fell asleep.
