her "friend" offered her some hours at the house but between the friend and the client my wife is wondering if the friend is a friend.
Yes the client has some mental problems and epilepsy but the client has said a few rude things today and rearranging and shelves and closets.
also my wife believed the client might be getting ready for a seizure because the woman was stating how she was seeing streaks of color lights and how the tv screen seemed foggy like the picture was cloudy.
My wife called her friend who is the house supervisor and the friend was like getting because attitude use my wife was warning her this seizure might be happening soon. This friend would be the one emergency responders would be calling. She is close to having POA on the client.
You would think this friend would realize my wife knows more than she wants to give my wife credit for.
Keep your fingers cross my wife finds a new company soon

(12,336 posts)Break thru seizures occur but much less frequently compared to non compliance of prescribed meds. Question ...has a level been checked lately? So contacting the physician appears indicated.

(12,336 posts)I'm suspicious of one having a possible pre-seizure aura....typically they are not taking meds as prescribed or the dose is not therapeutic for some reason....Going to ER for a drug level could answer that question definitely...for example, if the drug is dilantin...get a dilantin level. Just saying the focus is on the client.
Your wife is a good soul. She did all she could do....turned it over to the one in charge.
