Yesterday we decided to take Laura and the dogs to Bradgate Park,as the weather was fine and we had nothing else planned. Of course with it being a bank holiday, by late morning it was heaving.
Laura was OK on the way through the park but shortly after we'd turned back, I became a bit concerned about her as she'd been very quiet and still for a while. I was keeping an eye on her when her arm and head went up in an obvious seizure. It was a complex partial and I don't think it generalised but she was seizing for quite a few minutes before it appeared to stop. We picked up the pace to get back to the car as although I had her oxygen and paraldehyde with me, the sky was getting dark grey and I didn't fancy having to get her out the buggy onto the ground in the middle of a crowded park. She slept for the journey home and was fine until 6.30pm when she had another one. That stopped by iteself too, this time after just a couple of minutes.
Today she's been quite subdued, not moving off her armchair except to pick up her discarded threading beads (her latest most favourite toy). She did have a probable seizure this morning as I went in to find her in an awkward position fast asleep (or most likely post ictal).
This evening we've had the hysterics again. I'm pretty sure it's linked to her szs as she has some awareness with complex partial szs and so is probably fearful of them coming on and wants me close by.
So, not good at the moment and now I am rethinking her meds. Mayb the Epilim needs to be in there but just at a low dose. She was actually fine until we took away the last 2.5ml, so perhaps we should just put that back in. But first I'll try a couple of days with daytime clobazam.
Mick is away for the next 3 days, so I am hopeful things are OK with Laura. He's put the dogs in the kennels (after I moaned about Alex having to do their walks whilst he's away). Alex has got a bit of a cold still and so could do without early morning walks, so he's pleased!
