G'day to all, my husband is in advance cancer stages and just had his first bout with convulsions, three convulsions within four hours and unconscious the entire time. He only became stable after we rushed him to the ER then after two nights in the hospital we found that he's having problems, his right eye peripheral vision is limited, his right hearing has weakened, he leans to the right when trying to walk and can't stand alone. We pray we can keep him comfortable up to the end.... and at home.
I have two questions,
- does anyone have any tips on how to assist a person whose having convulsions especially if the person goes unconscious?
- how can we get him to take his medications, he scrutinizes each pill and doesn't want to take them and it takes an hour sometimes to get a few down.
Thanks to all!! Dolly
