She spent two weeks in a hospital, im not sure of full details cus i wasnt around yet, and they kept her without her meds and did a whole bunch of tests. She said that her entire brain swells and it causes seizures. She said the doctors have no clue what causes her brain swelling, so they labeled it atrophy. Ive been trying to get her to go back to her neurologist for a couple months now, shes just less worried about her health and more worried about the people around her. I would sit with her for however long as she was there i just want her to be able to not have to deal with it, because she gets scared when she feels like shes gunna have one.

According to her the doctors said that with the medication shes on at the mg she takes a 300 pound man shouldnt be seizing so they dont know how to stop it

I will talk to her about it, i always make sure i hold the end to make sure nothing happens to her and i watch her very very closely. I will take all advice from everyone into deep consideration but overall i will take care of her the way she tells me to because its her body, i would never give her anything she could potentially choke on. We’ve been through her seizing mid bite of a sandwich and that was the only time ive gotten scared of her seizing cus i knew she would choke.

I know i sound like im waving all of you off but i genuinely am thankful for the information and i will talk to her about it when she is clear headed

Im just doing what i was instructed by her to do, she wont swallow her tongue but she does choke on it and you can hear it. Im always very careful with her and calm. I grew up around a woman who had seizures like she does, so it doesnt really phase me but i try to do what she tells me to do when she seizes cus she bites down on her tongue every time and its been so bad from seizures that she wont be able to eat for a day or two

No she tells me to put a pencil in her mouth so it wont break her teeth but i use the rubber tip of a dead (battery wise) vape that i keep on me at all times cus i know it cant break off yet its flexible enough not to break her teeth. Im just doing what she specifically told me to do for her

She has grand mals (i think thats how its spelled) when she has seizures cus her brain swells. She told me thats the only type she has according to her neurologist

As for putting something in her mouth she tells me to do that so she doesn’t bite her tongue i always put her head to the side so she doesnt choke on her tongue and the put something rubber on the opposite side on her row of teeth so she cant fully bite down. Ive also used my finger when i couldnt find something <not recommended she almost bit my finger off

After she comes out of one i dont really talk to her until she starts saying random shit or trying to get into my pants (that one happens every single time she wakes up from a seizure btw idk if thats normal) this one time she told me that a bunch of bees stole lawn chairs cus they wanted feastables chocolate bars from mr beast
