Day 86

​Sachin slept well last night.
After breakfast, Sachin helped in the garden, pulling weeds.
Then he worked on puzzle. After a break, we went for our usual walk. He seemed energetic, probably due to having had enough sleep.
When we returned, Sachin helped to clean our backyard using the blower-vac. He still does not understand how to use it effectively but is getting used to it.
In the evening, he watered our garden.

​Sachin slept well last night.
After breakfast, I got Sachin to put up the clothes to dry. He did not seem focussed on task and since it was past midday, I started hanging the clothes myself. Sachin smiled, probably feeling that he tricked me and took the opportunity to continue his puzzle.
Later, we went for our usual walk. When we came back, Sachin filled his 7 days pills container. He continued with his puzzle after that.
In the evening, he watered our garden.

Day 83 - A trip to the doctor

25/7/2016

​Sachin had 7 hours sleep last night did seem fresh and rested.
After breakfast, we went to see his doctor regarding his blood test. All was well except, a slightly higher iron level and elevated liver function. The liver issue could be due to his medications but we will still be monitoring it.
After that, we went to Westfield at Mount Druitt.   
When we came back home, Sachin continued with his puzzle.
We did not go for a walk today as we did enough for Sachin’s daily quota.

​Sachin had only 5 hours sleep last night. Although I tried hard, he did not sleep again and so I was cautious all day.
He worked on his puzzle for a while. As a precaution, we did not go for walk today.
As expected, Sachin had a seizure just after dinner. In the recent past, this has been the longest stretch without a seizure.

​Sachin woke up before midday and he had enough so I took him for his blood test. I had been waiting for a while to get that done.
I had to hold him when he was injected. Either he has become stronger or I have become weaker or maybe bit of both because I struggled to hold him. Hopefully, he would be okay next time.
After that we went for cappuccino and then did our shopping.
When we returned, Sachin helped me put the shopping away. Then he used his Ipad.

​After breakfast, Sachin filled his pills container. He gets confused with the Tegretol pills because there’s 1 in the am section and 2 in the pm section.
After that, Sachin made some coasters. After a break, we went for a walk.
When we returned, Sachin watered our garden. Then he started a new puzzle.

Another Seizure avoided

16/7/2016

Today we have avoided Sachin having a seizure. All the signs were there. Whether it was fortune or preventative measures, I am just thankful it was avoided. Now, it has been 20 days since he had  a seizure considering that he has one every 10 days( based on stats collected). The last two nights, he has had less than 6 hours of sleep. It seemed as if he wanted to have a seizure but as parents, it remains the priority to prevent one at any cost, as we understand how harmful it is to him. Let's hope that he sleeps well tonight.

Sachin slept well last night. After breakfast, he worked building a 3-tier shelf that I had unassembled earlier.
When, his mum returned from work, we out for cappuccino and then did some shopping. He has slight cold but that is almost expected in this weather. Otherwise everything went well today.
