    Default Emergency!!! Siezure Meds

    OK I'm in a fit of panic. I'm totally freaking out. The child I nanny for..last night I forgot to give him his evening siezure meds. I stayed overnight and came home this morning (he was fine) and just found them in my pockets. I don't know what to do. He takes them in the morning and night and I fucked it up. I've never forgot this before. Is this going to set off a seizure? I slept in his bed with him last night and he seems fine. I feel like I'm going to come unglued. Does anyone have any exerience with this - a child that takes morning/nightly siezure meds? What does skipping a dose do? I am unable to contact the parents at this time. Is it likely that he will have a siezure? I am guessing his dad already gave him this morning's seizure meds as scheduled but I havent seen him since I left this morning so I don't know if everythings ok. I am thinking the mom or the dad would have contacted me if something had happened??? someone please help, I'm going to lose it. It's just one dose, but I don't know what could happen. I cant believe i fucked up this bad. I'm HATING myself right now and feeling beyond sick with worry

    Maybe you could call a pharmacist and ask what happens if you skip a dose of his meds.

    Probably nothing will happen. My understanding is that most seizure meds get built up in the blood stream and missing one dose won't make a huge difference. Also just the nature of most seizure disorders is that they're really unpredictable, so even if he is unprotected from seizures for 12 or 24 hours, what are the odds that he would have a seizure in that window?

    Just talked with Mom. Literally drove to her house and woke them up -hysterical. She said that everything was okay that she has forgot a dose before and that she was as freaked out as I was and not to worry. Chances are, he would have seized already. I apologize for the upset -it's just so scary when it's someone else's child. Mods could you please remove the post? Thanks
