Well, we knew things were risky 3-6 days after a decrease in the Lamictal dosage. We decreased his dose on Sunday night. Sure enough, 3.5 days later (this morning) John had another Grand Mal seizure.
Yoshie had taken John to the park to play. He started seizing and couldn't come out of it. Yoshie screamed for help and some people that were walking in the park came over to help her. She called me and I raced home. When I got to the park, John was sleeping on a blanket, with some curious onlookers around him. Everyone was very nice and helpful. We carried him home and he slept for an hour. He's still sort of out of it today, and looks on the edge of having another big one. Hopefully we can avert that.
This one was about 1 minute in length, and he came out of it just as he was turning blue. Yoshie used the magnet and she thinks it may have helped. I also had a chance to use the magnet at lunch today when he started seizuring for a few seconds and it seemed to work.
I think the next couple of days might be tough, then hopefully we'll see an improvement - at least until the next drop from 100mg to 75mg.
