Seizures

We thought since he was on the mend from the ruptured ear drum that the seizures would lighten off but alas we were wrong. The other night he had 2 different types of seizures within an hour and then as the night turned to day he was having a lot of myoclonics and staring spells with lip smacking. Should I have given him a rescue medication to put a halt to the lot? I didn't because they were spread out enough through out the day that they didn't fall under rescue med need. Another reason is I am a bit leery of giving him rescue meds while he is on oxygen because they make his oxygen levels go down and we didn't need them to go down any lower.

Since the increase in Keppra we have seen an increase in his seizures and again we have the "shout" seizures. Coincidence? no its something I have noticed in the past but you know you are always hoping that its not true.

Well all the paper work is gone in for the skin and muscle biopsies so now we are just waiting for the date. The reason they are putting him forward for these now is to rule out a metabolic condition. You might be wondering why now? Well now since he has oxygen issues, heart rate issues they think maybe something in the metabolic area. May be it is but then again may be it isn't. I will wait for the results to see if anything popped up but you know I won't be counting down the days for the results as sometimes the ignorances of the not knowing is the best.
