Hopefully the medication you have given her will settle her down.
Isaac's are mild and infrequent and I hope and pray they stay that way.
Sending you both HUGE Hugs and hoping Loki is back to her usual self very soon.
Please take the best of care of yourself.
Seoniad.
Many thanks Seoniad. Well she took another one at 4.30 pm. One thing is that they don't seem as bad as those back in June, or last November, so that is something at least.
She is eating loads and drinking lots of water. She has been up and down the hall walkies as well!!
Again, thank you for your lovely wishes.
Rose xx

Hello MS
Many thanks and hope you are hail and hearty. Loki is just after eating again. They do get so hungry - more diets will be needed
She cheered up this afternoon as Grant came up to see her and she went to the door to give him a welcome, bless her.
Again, thank you.
Take care.

I was gutted when she started to fit again, Berger, they aren't as ferocious this time round though and her face is pulled back as much.
I am shattered - couldn't even make myself anything to eat. I get quite upset at seeing her in fits. Just been drinking coffee and had a sandwich earlier. Loki has eaten more than me
Thanks again.
Take care.

Try to get some rest, Rose, although I know it is nigh on impossible. I know you will anyway
, but keep an eye on Loki's hydration.

Oh Linda, I have only given her two so far - one after the first one and one after the fourth. Another fit and I will give her one. They seem to have helped more this time. She has done more walkabout. Her last fit was at 4.30 pm and again, not too bad, her legs look as though she is paddling, bless her.
I am whacked!! My blood pressure is up sky high but who cares as long as Loki gets thru' these blasted fits!
Many thanks again and take care.
Hugs to her cousin Loki xx

Looking on the positive side, Loki has done very well since that terrible time in June. Also consider that the episodes are probably a lot worse for you having to witness them than for Loki who is probably unaware of what has happened.
Fingers crossed this is a one off and the medication will settle her down again. (hugs) x
Aw thank you MH. I am always listening for her, even when she is OK. She looks at me with amazement when she comes out the fits - even smiled at me
So far she's had five. I keep hoping that will be them all but they run their course.
Many thanks again for your wishes for Loki and me.
Take care.

Everything crossed here she will settle now.
(((Hugs))) for you and Loki. X
Thank you for the hugs, Lynne. She is sleeping at the moment after walking up and down the hall!
Again, thank you.
Take care and hugs to Ben xx

Aw thank you LP, you never get used to it, you are right there. I always live in hope that someday a cure would be found but it never will.
Loki doesn't realise she is in the fit, so that is something.
Many thanks again for your wishes.
Take care.

Many thanks LM - unfortunately, that is another one she took - 7.25 pm. She is lying back now on her pillows. Quite soul destroying!
Again thank you for your wishes.

Many thanks GSDG and it is awful as I feel quite useless when she is in the fit - I just try to hold her as best I can to stop her hurting herself.
Many thanks for your wishes, I do appreciate them.
Take care.

Oh WH it is awful isn't it - I wish I could take them from her instead. It seems to be about every 3 hours or so that she is taking them. That one was at 7.25 pm. I hope the diazepam works for her longer this time.
Again, many thanks for your wishes for her. I doubt if I will get any rest! But I shall try
Take care.

Many thanks Sue. Well as you will see above, she took another. I think they will continue until tomorrow. I gave her mashed chicken breasts in water as she didn't want the water on its own. She took it with the chicken in it.
Again, many thanks.
Take care.
I do appreciate everyone's responses - they do help!
