Kate requested she be able to sleep in, tired from the medication given on Sunday afternoon, Her appetite was diminished, didn’t eat anything at breakfast. Kate and I walked to school around 9am. Seizures started around 9:45 at school, Kate reported to the school nurse after the third seizure in ten minutes. The nurse called me to inform me and confirm my approval for giving the rescue medicine ( Klonopin )

  • .25mg of Klonopin given by school nurse

Kate stayed with the school nurse to monitor the effectiveness of the dose. The seizures continued

  • additional .25mg of Klonopin given
  • Kate felt drowsy as a result of the medicine given in conjunction with the doses that had been given the day before at home. At her request I picked up Kate from school at 10:30 am and she spent the remainder of the day at home with me watching movies and coloring a “draw by the numbers” version of Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night
