I woke up at eight thirty. Alex and I got up about the same time. Alex watched tv while I went downstairs to check on Kelly. Kelly had been howling so I wanted to see what was the matter. Kelly had to go out and couldn’t wait. Kelly had blood on his fur and the floor. He must have had another seizure this morning. That’s a total of five seizures in three days. He sure isn’t doing very well. I left a message for Dr. H on Tuesday morning but I never got a call back from him. Then on Wednesday morning I left another message. Dr. H wasn’t there so I left a message with Dr. R. by four o’clock I hadn’t heard from him either so I phoned again. I was concerned about Kelly and I didn’t know whether to increase his medication. The nurse said he was on a call but would phone back as soon as possible I never heard back from him again. We had gone out at five so maybe he called later.
I had my shower and we had breakfast. I phoned the vet again. Dr. H and Dr. R are both not in today. Dr. I phoned me back, he said to start giving Kelly two pills twice a day. I asked him about the blood in his salvia. Dr. I said he could have bitten his tongue, broken a tooth or put too much pressure on his gums during his seizure. I said I wondered if it was coming from somewhere else. Dr. I said the blood could only come from somewhere else if Kelly had thrown up. Dr. I also said if Kelly has any trouble chewing or eating we should bring him in.
Kelly is doing a lot of pacing right now and sniffing everything in sight. He seems to do alright during the day but once evening comes that’s when the seizures occur. Dr. I said that was because the brain is not so active in the evening and early morning, as it is during the day at least I have an explanation as to why they happen more at those times.
After lunch Patrick came over to play with Alex. Later on they played in the sandbox. Mom and Dad came over, they brought Alex two t-shirts for when he starts school. Mom said she was feeling okay, they had been to Metrotown. They didn’t stay long as they had left Geordie in the house since early this morning.
I did a lot of laundry today, six loads of laundry. Then I put away Alex’s toys while they were in the sandbox.
Patrick went home around three o’clock. Alex stayed out in the sandbox for about fifteen minutes then he watched tv.
Charlie came home at four o’clock. He said my car started fine both times.
Kurt phoned Alex at five o’clock, he came over. Benjamin came to the door at five thirty but I told Alex to tell him we would be having dinner soon.
We sent Kurt home before six o’clock. After dinner I exercised, put away Alex’s toys with the help of Alex, watered the plants, swept the kitchen floor and collected the garbage.
Alex went to bed at nine o’clock. We watched tv and went to bed at eleven o’clock.
