Day 105

31/8/2016

0 Comments

 
​Sachin slept less than 6 hours last night. Initially I tried to get him to go back to sleep but after a while I gave up.
I gave Sachin his breakfast and as precaution, we stayed indoors and played snakes n ladders.
After a while I took him for a visit to a friend's place for a cup of tea. I thought this would be a safer option then going to the shops.
When we returned,  Sachin used his Ipad.

Day 99

​Sachin woke up earlier today but had more than 8 hours of sleep. He did have a seizure yesterday around 8pm.
After breakfast, he started making coasters. It was cold and wet today and Sachin did not seem interested in working. It could have been also due to the after effects of his seizure. He went inside and relaxed on the sofa. I waited for him to show some energy but there were no signs.
Eventually, I decided to take him to the mall for cappuccino. Then, he did seem to liven up.
When we came home, he used his Ipad.

​Sachin slept just over 7 hours last night. It was not really enough but it was not in the danger zone. As a precaution, today’s activities required not to be stressful.
After breakfast, he worked on his puzzle for a while. Then I gave him the blower vacuum to clean up his work area. He did not seem interested in the task and so I let him continue with his puzzle. Shortly after, he started becoming excited and noisy, which was not normal. Again as a precaution I took him to his bed and turned the TV on. He did not like that either.
His behaviour has been like that all day and that he does not have a seizure.
