Home and Two Seizures.
Murphy was released from TAH at 5:30PM. Dr. Smith sent us home with meds and instructions: keep him in a cool, dim, quiet spot, continue his twice daily phenobarb regimen and add 13.5ml KBr twice daily. Valium (10ml) as needed at the onset of seizure activity. We will run out of valium tonight, most likely, and won't be able to obtain anymore without going to a hospital pharmacy tomorrow. Dr. Smith has approved the use of Valerian when the valium runs out - 2fl. oz. strong infusion, administered rectally.
Since returning home, Murphy has had two seizures:
Times: 6:45PM, 7:19PM
Durations: ~30 seconds each
Both seizures were moderate. Behaviors included some paddling and arching, profuse drooling and some twitching. 10ml of valium was administered after the second seizure.
Murphy is currently lying on a towel on the basement floor, covered with a damp towel, with the fan set on low blowing across his back.
Murphy is due to be dropped off at TAH at 9AM on Monday for a blood draw and observation.
