Ruff two days

I almost lost my boy, Clyde on May 14th. He's been on keppra for about a month and a half. Around 4:30 he had a cluster of seizures, after his fourth one I called the emergency vet and while I was in the phone he had a fifth one, he was overheated and we immediately took him in. As they were getting ready to start an IV he had a sixth one, each one lasting about a minute and thirty seconds. Right after they got the IV started he started to went into a seventh one and they were able to stop it with Midazolam. His numbers were high and the swelling on his brain was severe, his heart wasn't beating enough oxygen into his blood stream and his blood pressure was through the roof. He is an extremely anxious dog and they had to sedate him during his 12 hour stay at the hospital. I asked what I should do if he had another one due to the stress of the vet. She said he shouldn't because of how much medicine they had given him. The next morning around 6am he had another one. Since then he has been extremely clingy. My vet had added pheno, but this creates a new issue. Now we're going to have to take him in to have his blood drawn. We already have to have him sedated at the vet and going to the vet is his trigger. I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm not going to have Clyde much longer. He was only having seizures once a month. Now he's had 7 in two days. I'm so worried.
