Thanks to DSLeo for reviewing.

"So how long was he seizing for?"

"I-I don't know…" Jeannie had come over as soon as Luke had called her. Yet it wasn't until she had just stepped over our threshold that Paul Anka had stopped moving and seizing. He now laid on his cot, still trembling from exhaustion "He was when I woke up and then there was half an hour until you were here and he just continued all the time."

As if he wanted to show how he felt Pau Anka sighed and whimpered.

All the noises he made now made me feel like he was begging me for helping.

And I just wished there was something else for me to stroke him and try and keep him calm.

"A seizure lasting that long. Lasting longer than five to ten minutes makes a condition called status epilepticus. And of course those can be more fatal and harmful towards the brain than another shorter seizure would have been."

Jeanie didn't say what she would probably have needed to. I heard what she meant.

Ever since I had gotten a dog a moment like this what I had dreaded.

"I'm sorry Lorelai. I really thought there might be a while before he had another. I was wrong."

Paul Anka lifted his head just a little bit and looked at me before he laid it down again.

"If we went through with it. What tests would you have to make?"

"Well. We already have some X-rays and some blood tests. But then we'd need more X-rays and blood tests. I'd also need urine samples, ultrasound, MRI, more kinds of X-rays, lumbar puncture, then we'd need to try some. Med…"

"Okay, okay." I interrupted and new tears streamed down my cheeks. "I understand…"

"I can't force you into any decisions." Jeannie said, a bit too calmly. "But I know, we can't know exactly how old he is. And he's probably around fifteen years old. Counted in human years that would be in between seventy-five and eighty five years old. And maybe he could live longer. But…" Jeannie lost her words and when Paul Anka let hear another sigh full of whimpering I knew what it was I had to do.

"No…" I interrupted. "…after everything he's done for us it wouldn't be fair to keep him suffering for our sakes… Can you just give us a couple of hours? Come back tonight or so and…" I couldn't finish the sentence.

"Of course, I can." Jeannie started packing her things. "I'll be back about… eight?" I nodded. "…you just call me if you want… need me to come sooner."

I didn't want her to have to come sooner for anything in the world.

Another short chapter for you all but I hope you like it anyway.

Random fact

I didn't say it until after Jippie had died, but Lorelai said the same as me. After everything he's done for them, it wouldn't be fair to keep him suffering for our sake.

Next chapter will be up next Monday but before then, do you know what date it is tomorrow "starts bouncing up and down with the words" do you know? Do you know? Do you know?

I still get small seizures all the time. But tomorrow I am exactly two and a half years seizure free from big seizures YAY.
