I hadn't been home for too long. I had been out running errands, including picking up some prescriptions that I had troubles getting in on time. Briviact: two different dosages. I gave him the missed pills right away and hoped the delay of only about 8 hours wouldn't be a big deal. (Due at 8:00, given at 4:00).
Boy, was I wrong.
So I'm in my bedroom with the door closed because, you know, covered in sweat. I had a couple fans going ... just trying to cool down.
Weslee bangs on my door. "Mom! Mom!", he cried and boy, it sounded urgent, so I open the door (yes, I was dressed). He had glazed looking eyes, he was drooling, and I knew he'd had a seizure. After all of this time, I, of course, recognize the signs.
I quickly guided him to my bed and I started the video within seconds so this is it.
It's obvious that he cannot miss even one dose of his Briviact. That medication is the latest that we added to his lineup, and I'm hoping that during his next appointment, we can possibly up it by 50 mg, and maybe that will help mitigate the seizures. Who knows? It is just a guessing game at this point.
He is now in his safe space (his broken bed). I brought him up some 'dinner' (a string cheese and a cup of strawberry banana V-8 juice.) Protein, dairy, fruits and veg. A super healthy meal, although small.
