I've left a message with Melinda's neurologist about whether I should do anything different between now and her Wednesday appointment. She's still having a couple of light, partial seizures every day.
She's sleeping a lot (or at least trying to sleep). Her BP, oxygen, and pulse are normal. No changes in cognition. We've been together over 12 years, we've gone through a few of these times. Last night, she wanted to go to the ER, but I talked her out of it. We've done that. She would be there stressing for hours before they give her an IV and 5mg of Ativan and send her home. 5mg of Ativan turns her into a bowl of jello for 2-3 days. I have extra 1mg Ativan tablets here.

I sure would like some reassurance that I'm doing the right thing.

I hope they're able to give you some good short-time advice, and more once you're all able to meet.

Thanks, Jenn. I'm sure that we'll get some answers and relief on Wednesday. I'm going to request lab tests and bloodwork to make sure about her med levels or whether something else is going on (like a urinary tract infection)

Well, no callback this afternoon. Melinda ate some food and went back to bed after another seizure. Sigh
- Greg GuitarBuster
I hope they do call you back so you can get some reassurance, and that your Wednesday appointment goes well.

It won't be this evening. I'm going to continue what I'm doing unless I see a turn for the worse.

I'm still waiting for a callback. Melinda's feeling a little better today. She was awake earlier, but when back to bed. I think we're good until tomorrow afternoon's appointment.
- Greg GuitarBuster
Glad she's feeling a bit better, at least.

I received a call, but it was only the receptionist wanting to confirm our appointment for tomorrow. Okay. Moving right along.Melinda's awake and feeling better.

I finally heard from Melinda's doctor. We're on the same track.
