Give me the indication that it would be outside of the fact that it's it was a variable. Well we tried it in all of a sudden different with not taking chances. Right. No, I agree with where you were coming from that for sure with that.

SPEAKER_00 0:11

But I didn't think B12 would have put it.

SPEAKER_01 0:16

But given that he had been doing so well, yeah, and then that was like I said, the variable, then we have to question if it's in there. Like you said, it affects everyone differently. Given that he's back off of it and it's been sounds like a little over a month. About a month. About a month. Um and he's been doing well.

unknown 0:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 0:38

I'd had I hesitate to make the adjustment to the device just for for the battery life. If we think we found a, you know, if we found a potential trigger and we can work through yeah. But if he has another seizure this month, I want you to call me and we'll I'll figure out how to make it work so that we can get the schedule take.

SPEAKER_00 0:57

Okay, and maybe move it up a little bit. Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:01

Just but given the fact that there was a variable we know and you've removed it and seems to do it a little better. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:08

Um it says B12 can actually maybe make them too hyper and they can't sleep real well at night or something.

SPEAKER_01 1:15

And if if that were the case, if you were a little bit um hyper and you know not sleeping well at night, then we run the uh possibility that it was sleep deprivation that contributed.

SPEAKER_00 1:26

Okay. All right.

SPEAKER_01 1:27

I tell you what, you you're uh over me, aren't you? Well, you know, the first one, you definitely almost built the whole night prime. Okay, so that's definitely a contributor. Yes. Yes. But we kind of like all these.

SPEAKER_00 1:42

And then the second one wasn't, so then we got worried, so we weren't sure. Yeah, what the trigger was in that case. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:51

Alright, let's we're gonna make sure you have all your medicines, Jake, so that you um you keep the rest any further seizures away. We don't like them.

SPEAKER_01 2:09

The VimPAT that he's 20 mls of two times a day. We definitely are gonna need that one because it's just a timeline. The Raspiridol, that's four milligrams twice a day. The zonogram that is 400 milligrams nightly, and depict that is uh six tablets two times a day. Yep. Alright. And we use this still CVS on um bell hall.

SPEAKER_00 2:41

SPEAKER_01 2:52

Just because of the epicode and whatnot, I think it's uh good to stay on on top of that. That's okay. The biggest of the um trigger troublemakers.

SPEAKER_00 3:02
