6 Oct 10

Charlene started having 2 clusters of seizures in the morning.

At noon time, the doc started the new anti-convulsant potassium bromide.

Charlene was still coughing badly but her lungs were clear.

The doc wanted to keep her for one more day of observation due to the clustering but I asked if we could bring her home cos her seizures were not more than her baseline of 12 a day. The doc obliged and we brought Charlene home.

Charlene puked in the taxi ride and I suctioned her the first thing we reached home. After suctioning, Dez noticed that Charlene's face was flushed but her limbs were cold. We measured her temperature and it was 38.8 deg. We were stunned. We gave her panadol immediately. We also thanked God that the room main light was on (cos I was doing suction) and as such Dez could see her flushed face.
