Diastat Day

Well after nearly 10 days without a seizure, Alex did break through last night. Marycke reports he had a seizure around 4:30 AM. As seizures go it was fairly mild. But then at 6:30 AM he had a very strong tonic clonic. So she administered 20 Mg DIASTAT.

Lately (last 4 times) this new routine of administering DIASTAT after the 1st seizure seems to have helped Alex in his recovery. In the past we had always waited 4-5 seizures and then given DIASTAT. The of course he was tired or wasted the rest of the day. We had always assumed that was the after effect of the drug. Now we think it was the strain on his body that caused Alex to sleep for the next 20-30 hours.

Hopefully this will clear his system for another 7-10 days. If all goes well we plan on a trip to the Texas coast. Alex loves the beach!
