Epileptic Seizure Monitor Alarm System
Tue, 02/19/2008 - 01:46Hello everyone,
Our daughter's seizure have been occurring during the time when she first falls asleep (she's had 2 and they both happened during that time.) Since she had her first one (August '07), she has been sleeping with us in our room and her just-decorated-cute room has not been utilized since.
My husband has been researching seizure monitors and found this:

Has anyone out there used this or something similar? If so, how effective are they and would anyone recommend it or be against it? Any thoughts or opinions are greatly appreciated!

Hi my daughter is also 13! And has seizures if she's been up too long or had too little sleep. Thinking of a monitor, I hate sleeping with her as she sleeps very fitfully and steals the covers all night.
You just answered my question before I could ask it! Figured she'd hate the idea but I can handle (more) teen-aged eye rolling!
I'd love to sleep with my husband sometime (except for the snoring).

I know that saving a life trumps modesty and privacy, but don't you think such a baby monitor would be a problem for an older child. I know this is a special case, but I don't think anyone would want to be monitored that closely. What do you do about that?
