Hospital Stay
Linda brought Stacey into the bedroom about 9PM Sunday evening and said she was having a few problems. We all slept the night without a problem occuring. Monday morning, Linda left for the daycare and around 7:45 AM involuntary movements in Stacey's arms and shoulders had begun, so I gave 15 mg Valium. I called Linda and told her and she came home. At 9 AM Linda gave another 10 mg Valium. I gave another 10 mg Valium at 1:30 PM as involuntary movements were returning. About 3:30 PM we took Stacey to Dr Rice's office and he told us to take her to the ER. He called in orders for 5 mg Valium by IV to the hospital and it was administered about 3:45. Another 5 mg Valium was given by IV at 5:40 PM right after Linda left for a short trip home. Dr Rice came in and looked at Stacey about 8 PM. He upped her Keppra dosage by 500 mg twice a day. Linda returned about 10 PM and I left, then another 5 mg Valium was given by IV at 10:30 PM. I returned to the hospital about 4 AM and Stacey was still having problems. Linda left for home and Stacey went into a deep sleep until she awoke and regained some clarity of mind about 7 AM Tuesday morning. Her muscle control was also returning. Linda came back and after we had walked Stacey around the hallways a few times, as Dr Rice had ordered during his morning visit, was getting Stacey dressed . I left for a little rest at home and then returned before Dr Rice released Stacey to go to the house about 7:!0 PM.
