My husband has seizures now. Once they start his don't really seem to stop (like the Status seizures you described). Is there any at home emergency medicine I could give him sort of like epipen is used for allergic reactions. He is on a regular med to control them, but once something goes wrong it is a 911 call for us since he doesn't ever get awake enough to then take his medicine orally. It's pretty scarey.
