Apr 27: Nighttime Seizure Activity

Weslee has troubles sleeping, so he gets 10 mg of Melatonin every night. The rule, though, is if he is still not asleep by midnight, that he comes to get a sleeping pill from me.

So a little bit ago, almost 1 a.m. exactly, he comes out of his room to grab a extra seizure pill. His brain was too busy having seizures and wouldn't let him sleep. I suggested that since it was already past midnight, he should take a dose of sleep meds. Done. Back to bed.

Over the next 10 minutes, he had a big ole cluster of gelastic seizures. I recorded a lot of it on my phone, but with very little light in his room, it was not really useable.

At 1:20 a.m., I brought out the big guns... the nasal rescue spray. He didn't want me to record it, so I put the phone down.

It took another 15 minutes before the seizures tapered off into sleep.




... ... and THIS is why I don't sleep at night any more.
