Advice anyone please.
I have not been here for sometime so forgive me for being cheeky.
I care for Susan,(dementia)and she started having seizures last year. The 3rd on 7th Dec,4th seizure on 26th and one today in front of myself and our GP that I had called out.
I called him as since 7th Dec Susan mobility is virtually zero. Her balance is poor. I physically carry her up the stairs, but she, this week has started sleeping 18 to 21 hours a day which does not give me time to feed her and more importantly drink.
Hence calling the doctor. Called him yesterday but he said she should be ok, see what today brings.
Today I was still concerned so he came out to our home. We had to wake her up gently and while he was examining she went into a fit. The same as the other occasions.
My problem is she is still asleep, basically 27 hours apart from the examination. The day before was about 19 hrs.The seizure has put her back into another deep sleep it seems, and I am desperate to give her the medication.
Can anyone add if this is very bad, or may things go back to as they were.
Anyone experienced this before please.
She has no speech, no abilities at all, and difficulty chewing her food. Sometimes chokes on her drink.
thanks to all
