Where would I be without this boy and what would have happened if I had a seizure in the shower? 

Echo brought both medication for generalized seizures and then focal seizures. Although the original video was way longer than the cut version (about 10 min), my medication for focal seizures doesn’t work super fast. 

What’s important is that I didn’t have a grand mal seizure ❤️‍🩹

I have been forgetting (or putting off doing my medication) because I have been doing so well and not having seizures shortly after my blood patches were done

Showers trigger POTs which triggers epilepsy at times for me

Echo typically only alerts to grand mal seizures (it’s the easiest for a dog to scent for). I’m surprised he barked before the focal seizure but truly believe he stopped an epileptic grand mal seizure with rescue meds before it happened

My focal seizures can turn into grand mal seizures shortly after especially if there are clonic components 

Later, he sniffs through the closed cabinets to see if he can get to my injectable rescue med — it was in there and he booped the correct one but it was closed

He pressed the IPUPPEE button that calls Ruben and lets him watch, talk, and listen to me through

Apparently we need to move our home camera up a little higher because he booped you guys too
