Sunday night Kate woke up at 1am for one hour, returned to sleep around 2am
No rescue medicine given
Monday walking to school, Kate had three seizures within a 20 min period
At 8:30am .25mg dose of Clonapin was given in the nurses office. I stayed with Kate in the special ed room to monitor the effect of the medicine.
At 8:50am additional .25mg dose of Clonapin was given because the seizures had continued after the initial dose.
At this time Kate’s seizures did not have a definitive start or stop, she describes them as waves of intensity with no start or stop.
At 9:10am a third dose of .25mg Clonapin was given. I stayed with Kate at her school so she could attend a Veterans Day school assembly that her oldest sister would be playing with the high school orchestra.
After the assemble concluded, I signed Kate out of school for the remainder of the day. The amount of medication she had in her system at that point made schoolwork and concentration difficult.
