Against doctors orders, I took some morphine which took the edge off but didn't stop my seizure activity, so they gave me Verse too. Mommy put me prone, or tummy down in non-medical world speak, on her tummy and after about an hour we were both fast asleep. I slept like that until Mommy's back (and Daddy's ears since Mommy snores on her back) couldn't take it any more. Then Daddy helped put me in my bassinet and I only fussed for a minute and fell fast asleep for the rest of the night. My heart rate and oxygen stayed perfect all night and I didn't even need suctioning.
I was a little angle this morning until my nurse Tiffany transferred me from my bassinet. My heart rate increased so she decided to give me morphine which didn't help, so she gave me Versed. That helped a little but my heart rate was still high. Another dose of Versed did the trick and I finally fell asleep after a few hours of active seizures.
I got a nice bath and a few albuterol treatments and I stayed calm and asleep all afternoon. I didn't get much food this morning but as soon as I fell asleep this afternoon Tiffany got as much food as possible in me. I woke up right around dinner time with some really bad seizure activity and my heart rate was through the roof again.
Daddy gave me Versed which took a while to kick in but I finally fell asleep. Finnegan was laying at my feet and purring which was so warm and relaxing and really helped me fall asleep. He is my therapy cat!
It is Daddy's turn to watch me tonight and I will try and be a good girl again. I just wish I had some awake relaxing times these days. My seizures are getting worse and my Valium just doesn't seem to be helping. I know Mommy and Daddy are wanting peaceful awake times for me but I'm not sure I can give that to them.
