Feburary 2011 Brooklyn had a cardiology appointment at UNM hospital where she came into contact with the tummy Bug germ. She had a fever, vomiting, and diarrhea for several days which resulted in her not keeping her anti seizure meds down. We took her in to the ER and after having tried about 6 times to start an IV with no success they decided to give her oral meds and hope that she kept them down. After watching her for several hours they decided that she was able to go home. The next day she was very lethargic and wouldn't eat or drink anything. Whenever I was putting her into bed she began having seizure. We were driving to the hospital and decided to call for an ambulance a couple of miles from the house. After getting her into the ambulance she began having another seizure her oxygen sats dropped very low and they had to bag her back up until the seizure was over about 3 & 1/2 min. They gave her valum to relax her muscles so that if she had another seizure her air way would stay open. We arrived in the ER and they got an IV in and we were waiting to be admitted she had another seizure. This time they gave her a high dose of adaban to stop the seizures. When we finally got up stairs at 4:00am they decided to draw blood to do labs. Every time that they touched her she would have seizures one right after another, lasting until about 6:00am. The doctor came in and decided to hive her more adaban to get the seizures stopped again and put her on 15 liters of blow by oxygen to get her sats back up . Later on during the day she was having "staring spells" And the doctor feared that this was going to result in her having more seizures so decided to give more adaban. After having an EEG they decided that she could have a bath. When we were trying to bathe her she had no muscle tone at all and couldnt even hold her head up. We later found out this was due to the neurological team more than doubling her baseline dose of Keppra (her home anti convulsion meds). After a couple of days in the hospital she began feeling much better and neurology decided that she would be okay on her baseline dose of keppra & send her home. After being home for a couple of days she now has some kind of upper respiratory infection.
