ANOTHER SEIZURE

December 19, 2011

Dad had another seizure this morning. The neurologist will look at his chart and adjust the Meds. Dr. Wang approved the request to have him go to the Haven rehab center. He shaved and brushed his teeth and was in the bathroom when he had it. Fortunately, a big brawny male nurse was standing by and laid him on the floor. I heard him say that it wasn’t violent and wasn’t a grand mal and lasted about 20 seconds. He did lose consciousness. They put him in the bed. He’s now recovered and looking at TV. I will wait to see what the neurologist says.

STELLA'S NOTES: Around 2:30, the EEG tech came. Ruby and I left to go sit in the waiting room. Ruby felt that she needed to see if EEG was completed. Ruby met Nurse Debbie who was going to check on him. When they got there, Neal had gotten out of bed by himself and was on the way to the bathroom. They put him in a chair. Ruby came back for me. He looks so pale, so weak, so lost. Nurse Debbie helped us to get him in bed. The TV remote continues to be a continuous battle for him. He's constantly going off the channel. Volume control too difficult to process.

Dr. Wang came. Confusion could be from the medications or surgery.

FROM NOW ON, STELLA AND I WILL BE STAYING WITH HIM AT NIGHT.
