My grandson is 24 yrs old, had a stroke the day he was born, and he is right side hemophlegic. He has been having grand mal seizures since age 16, prior to that he had petit mal seizures. Last week he felt like he was going to have a seizure, took him to ER, heart rate was 38. They did a c-scan, sent him to a nurse practitioner clinic because he has no insurance. (We live in Tennessee). He is unemployed. We don t know why his heart rate dropped so low. Nurse practitioner sent him home. What can he do?
