Doing good - but still a seizure
well we have been doing pretty well..... dan has enjoyed his freedom of "cleaning" ... the space at the new home - makes him feel he can contribute.. so he cleans the garage and the car.. and he so looks forward to it... he never was a lazy man, rare for him to just sit around... so this has been ideal - something for him to do that matters..
He has been eating consistently and drinking what he can, and we use the IV- and home health ... life is improved -- but what a long and uncertain road... One of the new gadgets i got was the camera on Dan in the garage , the living room and the bedroom... i love it !! now dan gets a little privacy , but i can monitor him from afar... and tonight i learned the value of the cameras... I actually went out with the "girls" friends" whoa" .. yes a nite out.... except... I had the girls watch Dan .. Dan was adament about cleaning the garage... so the kids kept checking him and had the garage door propped open and Dan had a seizure.. I happened to be checking the camera on my phone and seen dan laying on the garage floor .... OMG - i called home and told the kids to get out there... yep he was having a seizure... i hopped in my car and came right home... we did have him go to the ER as he fell from his chair to a concrete floor, and with the affected side i have learned we don't always know what is hurt... so we had him checked out... he appears OK - banged up knee and his side of his face will be bruised... but nothing major .. we forgone the Xrays ... but the doc looked him over really good... but we will see what tomorrow or the next few days bring... I had been hoping with the hyderation and the better metabolization of the meds that Maybe, just Maybe the seizures would back off... NOPE still on the 2 month schedule... oh well, he came through it.... but my secret hope isent to be... just another lesson learned..... but a value ( cameras) found and validated .... nancyl
