Seizure risk level:- Risk level- 1 Previous night Sleep:- 7.22 hours sleep. Resting heart rate:- 62 resting bpm. ACTIVITIES. Walk Jigsaw puzzle work. Drive to office works. WEATHER: 31 degrees, Sunny. Mood: Sachin had bouts of giggle fits constantly during the evening, these concerned me because he didn’t sound like his normal giggles, sometimes he’d start out with a happy expression and tone of laughter then mid way through convert to a confused expression and an almost sad tone. A very close eye was kept on Sachin tonight and a possible cause for his behaviour might be a recent change with his medication types. NOTES: Sachin was in his programs room already when I arrived for shift, having a little bit of a cheat, getting a head start on his Friends TV series Jigsaw puzzle. Sachin immediately concerned me with his constant giggles, refer to MOOD section above. A calm environment was maintained for sachins benefit tonight, lavender under nose every half hour, calming music, low voices, a treat while out driving, a head massage. At 1825 Sachin was encouraged to use the toilet, he did go, we then got ready for a drive. Sachin had his 1830 medication, dispensed by his father. Sachin was had the giggles for a few minutes into the drive then settled down and was quiet. Sachin got a treat from kfc on the way home, 3 wicked wings. At 1930 hours Sachin and I got ready for a walk, he started up with his giggles again, but this lasted for the first 3 to 4 minutes of the walk, steps were forgotten tonight, I paid so much attention to Sachin I forgot to record them. When we got back Sachin had a few minutes in the puzzle room then was ushered to the lounge for a head massage from his nanna. Sachin had another bout of the giggles that lasted approximately 10 minutes then calmed and appeared to relax for a massage. Shift ceased at 2030 hours. Support Worker Steve
