Age 6
Donte: Daddy!
Daddy: can you not shout? Daddy has a headache. What do you want?
Donte: never mind I forgot. Oh yeah can you make ham and cheese toastie please?
Daddy: you gonna eat it all?
Donte: I share with Liam
Daddy: okay
The doorbell rang
Donte: I get it
I ran to the door
Daddy: Donte!
I opened the door and it was Hank and Erin
Donte: hi
Erin: hey little man
I went back to the kitchen
Daddy: only adults open the front door okay
Donte: but it Erin and Hank
Daddy: okay but you didn't know that until you opened the door. It could've been a stranger and what do we say?
Donte: stranger danger
Daddy: mhm so that's why next time you wait until daddy says you can answer it or daddy answers it
Donte: sorry daddy
Daddy: it's okay. Can you go get Liam for me?
Donte: Liam come downstairs!
Daddy: I could have done that
I sat at the table and ate my toastie and Liam sat next to me
Donte: finished daddy
Daddy: good boy. Put it in the dishwasher for me
I did that and I went upstairs. I got a Lego set and went back downstairs.
Donte: Liam you help?
Liam: let me finish my toastie
Donte: okay
I put avengers on the tv and started the Lego. I then got bored and was running around the house
Daddy: Donte can we calm it down please?
I ran back into the kitchen
Donte: but daddy I'm so bored
Daddy: I know kiddo.
Donte: play outside?
Daddy: tidy up your Lego first
Donte: but that take ages
Daddy: it won't
Donte: it will daddy and it's boring
Daddy: no outside until it's done
Donte: mean
I went into the living room and tidied it away then ran into the kitchen
Donte: outside now
Daddy opened the door and I went onto the trampoline

Hank pov
Jay didn't look good. Not at all. He looked really tired.
Hank: Jay are you okay?
Jay: I'm fine
Hank: You look really run down Jay
Jay: that's what Donte does to you. He hasn't been sleeping so I haven't been sleeping.
Hank: any reason why?
Jay: no idea. You'd think after being at the park all day, he'd be tired but no. He's just so hyperactive I don't know what to do. When it's time for bed he just can't wind down. It's physically and mentally draining trying to keep up with him and dealing with his behaviour. Liam is such an easy child but Donte is hard work.
Hank: when's the last time you had a proper nights sleep?
Jay: when he was in hospital
Hank: Jay that was like 6 months ago
Jay: I know
Hank: maybe take him to see Dr Manning
Jay: you think?
Hank: yeah she may be able to prescribe something to help him sleep
Jay: I've tried everything. Making him run around an hour before bed, no screen time, no food 2 hours before and melatonin gummies. Nothing works.
Donte: daddy look
I looked and he was doing some flips
Jay: very good Donte. Liam can you just keep an eye on him for me?
Liam: okay
Liam went outside.
Jay: can you see how draining he is?
Hank: I can take him for a few days. Give you some time to rest.
Jay: thanks but that will only cause a meltdown. He's gone a week without one so I'm not gonna change anything.
Liam came running in
Liam: Dad Donte hit me
Jay: Donte get here now
Donte: no
Jay: I'm not playing Donte. I'm not in the mood for your bullshit
He walked in
Donte: he's lying
Jay: then why does he have a red mark
Donte: I don't know
Jay: tell me the truth
Donte: fine I did
Jay: why?
Donte: he's being idiot
Jay: how?
Donte: he threw kicked ball at my bike
Jay: was you on the bike?
Donte: no
Jay: then why does it matter?
He shrugged his shoulders
Jay: right no more outside
Donte started screaming and shouting and Jay just closed his eyes putting his head in his hands. I could tell he was tryna ignore it but I knew Jay was gonna react
Jay: Donte shut the fuck up! Stop this fucking screaming and shouting
Donte stormed off and Liam went after him
Hank: Jay that wasn't fair
Jay: he's doing my head in.
Hank: go apologise to him Jay.
Jay went into the living room.

Donte pov
I sat on the couch with Liam and daddy walked in.
Daddy: I'm sorry for shouting at you
Donte: I'm sorry for screaming and shouting and hitting Liam
Daddy gave me a hug
Donte: can we watch movie?
All of a sudden dad dropped to the floor shaking
Donte: daddy! daddy!
Erin and Hank walked in and Liam comforted me.
Liam: how about we go upstairs and do Lego?
Donte: okay

Hank pov
we ran into the living room and Jay was on the floor seizing. I moved the coffee table away and put a cushion under his head. Each convulsion drew painful grunts from his mouth.
Erin: we're at 2 minutes
The convulsions died down to light twitches before fully stopping
Erin: do we call will?
Hank: I think we should
Erin laid his head in her lap and I phoned Will
Will: hello?
Hank: Will it's Hank
Will: what's up Hank?
Hank: Jays had a seizure and we don't know what to do now.
Will: bring him in just because this is his first seizure
Hank: okay
Erin: Hank he's bleeding
Hank: i think he bit his tongue
Will: that's normal with seizures. Bring him in and we'll have a room ready
Hank: okay. I'll bring him in whilst Erin sees how the boys are
Will: yeah okay
I ended the call and carried Jay out to the car laying him across the backseats. I made my way to med

Erin pov
I walked into dontes room and Liam was just holding him tryna explain what happened
Donte: what happened to daddy?
Liam looked at me and i sat on the edge of his bed and he came to sit on my lap.
Erin: you see when you get that weird fuzzy feeling in your head and you fall down?
He nodded
Erin: and then when you wake up you feel all sleepy and confused and your muscles hurt
Donte: that's what happened to daddy?
Erin: yeah
Donte: that looks scary
Erin: it can be scary but daddy's okay. Just like you're okay. You wanna go to med and see daddy?
Donte: yeah I give him bunny to make him feel better like it makes me feel
Erin: I think he will really like that
We all went out to the car and made our way to med. We walked in and Hank was outside waiting for us
Donte: is daddy okay?
Hank: he's gonna be fine
We started walking to his room
Erin: what caused it?
Hank: sleep deprivation. As long as he doesn't have another one he'll be fine
Donte: Can I see daddy?
Hank: of course you can but be careful okay
Erin: Liam you coming to?
Liam: yeah
Hank: do you boys want something to eat?
Donte: red jello please
Liam: same
Hank left and we walked into Jays room.
Jay: hey
Donte: daddy you're okay
Jay: of course I'm okay
