Seizure #2

I really hate to be posting again so soon, but Brady had a second seizure at 4:41 am. It lasted about a minute or so and within 5 minutes total he was on his feet. Once the seizure was over and before he arose, I inserted a valium suppository. This seizure was very similar to the one 8 hours before at 8:36 pm, although this time he was uncoordinated and wobbly for a little while. Several times he lost his balance and fell over. He seemed to have more rear end weakness than usual. With this one there was more pacing and he seemed to be extremely hungry. I gave him a cup of food to help his hunger and also some rescue remedy on a small piece of bread. Before too long, he was able to settle down and we all got a little more sleep. At 6:45 am I gave him his normal morning medication along with his breakfast meal.

At this time he's doing well; recovery was fairly quick, thank goodness. Once we awoke again at 6:45 am, he seemed fine. We are at that 6 week mark where the seizures always seem to occur. Usually the pattern has been for him to have 2 at the 6 week mark and then be fine for another 6 week stretch. I'm waiting to talk to his neuro vet to see what her recommendations are as far as his medication.

Please pray that the seizures are done with and that everything will go back to smooth sailing. We need good thoughts and good vibes sent our way. We will appreciate them more than you know. I really despise this ugly epilepsy monster!

There were eight hours between these two seizures. I hope and pray that the cycle has been broken with this last one.
