Oh Saturday what a day

Got up and got everyone ready and out we went to Scoil Gailge( Irish language classes). Got the bus no argument today as I pushed him on (yeah). Finnian was on O2 as he had not been keeping his stats up on his own and the cold air will always make them drop. Thankfully he was on the O2 as he had another one of his "shout" seizures while the kids were in class.No panic it was a short one and he came out of it on his own. Then he decided to have another different seizure but again he came out on his own. Mind you this was in less than an hour 2 different seizures. Got the bus home came in and you kinda knew he wasn't really himself but got him all settled in his "man" chair next thing the alarm is going off on his pulse ox his heart rate is at 213 and his O2 is flashing 79 on 1.5 liters of O2. There he is face twisted, ghostly white and his limbs are like frozen then he started to arch and basically contort himself in all weird movements. I grabbed the phone and the diastat. Gave him the diastat and had the phone on the ready to call emergency services just in case he really crashed on me. At this stage I can see his O2 levels are coming up and finally his heart rate started to come down. He is ok but you can still tell that he is not really back to his normal self. He is still on 2 liters of O2 and still dropping down at times. Checked his temp and it was 99.1 and checked it again about 1/2 hour later and it was 97.4 and that was with out giving him any thing for his temp. He isn't really fighting the nasal cannula so in one way its good but that kinda tell you he is not himself. If need be I can give him another dose of diastat I just hope he snaps out of it cause I don't want to bring him to a germ infested ER. It looks like its going to be a long night
