Suggest Treatment For Spastic Tetraplegia In A Child

Double dosed our 5 yr old grandson who is diagnosed with spastic quad cp. He received 30mg baclofen and .5 mg Valium and 20 minutes later received same dose. I Gave him 225 ml of fluid via feeding tube and an 8 ounce jar of stage 3 baby food orally, then tried to get him to vomit. May have gotten 3-4 ounces of vomit. This was 2.5 hours ago, heis currently sleeping with deep steady breathing, is there anything I should look for? He is 13.5 -13.8 kg in weight. We have had him on 40 mg of baclofen at night prior to his neuro adding Valium. Wife feels he is ok, but I justeould likes learned opinion

Pediatrician, Neurology 's  Response
Just leave it as he is overdosed and let him sleep for few hours and get rid of symptoms and do not attempt him to vomit as he may aspirate with his prevailing quadriplegic condition.
