I was on epilum for a while and I would say just wake her.....make her wake hun!

I though was only on it for about 6weeks as it made me sick and was the unsafest for pregnancy.......

Is it a syrup? Can you try and sneak it in while she's asleep?

I often do that for Simon, I go in with the lights off and pop the syringe in his mouth and slowly squirt it in, usually he stirs a little but the goes back to sleep, he also has a tablet that breaks down really easy, so while he's still drowsy, I give him the tablet, sometimes crushed in a syringe and a glass of water and he takes it and goes back to sleep.

Nah they don't choke on their saliva, they just swallow that, so it pretty much the same process, I do it slow, and he does rouse a little, I think cause it tastes revolting, but I give him a drink, and a pat and a cuddle and he goes back to sleep

I'm glad she woke, so there's no worries tonight. I think Epilim is one of those that's best given at the same time of day but if it varied by 1-2 hours, I think you would probably be fine We adjust meds by 1-2 hours at work all the time, including Chemotherapy. But its best to ask your Dr, make sure you remember when you gave it before she has blood levels done, cause that can make a difference sometimes.

Aaliyah would just spit it all out if did that to her

with the bloods Pead siad every 6months this right?? i go back see her in 4 weeks

Thanks Tracy

[elizabetty]

I'm not sure on levels, what ever your Dr thinks is right. 6months sounds good as long as its controlling the seizures, if its not ring her

There is an advantage to having to take medicine twice a day every day since he was six weeks, he's now 3 WooHoo something that's positive about it!!!!

[OceanGirl3]

Thanks yep she had very few to NONE woooo

Are his under control? if so how long? does he ever have them at all? (hope don't mind me asking can PM me if yu like *blush*)

Oh sorry, Simon's medicines are for his reflux, sorry if I confused you. Although he's on double the adult dose of one medicine and more than the usually suggested dose of another. Its finally working and he's a happy little boy which is nice

[OceanGirl3]

Oh lol that's ok wow can be used for relux too first i knew of it

Thanks again Tracy
