Hello...I am new to this site...my son may have petite mal seizures....since finding out that this may be true, we have been noticing a few things recently....the one I have that is most standing out is Vomiting....when sleeping he has been...for over a 2 months...waking at night and vomitting...he has gone days....to weeks without vomitting....attributed to a stomach bug the first few times..but tonight...I began to wonder if he is possibly vomitting following a seizure....the doctor said that he could be having multiple ones while sleeping. Has anyone every heard of this....my net search has been rendered useless! Thanks Mom to one cool 7 year old and one 8 month old diva!

What is a seizure "sleep mat" and an "anti suffocation pillow" and where do you get them?  I am new to this game.

My son is autistic and has been having seizures for a little over a year now. 

Please Help!!
