My 3 year old son just started having seizurs and drop attacks 8 weeks ago. I am new to this and I wont let him sleep in his room. He sleeps with me during naps and bed time. I am having a very hard time dealing with this. I find myself crying every day and I have no one to talk to about this. I am so scared for him. I have never seen anything more scary in my life when it comes to helping your loved one through a seizure. I know things could be worse but all I want is for my son to be healthy. If i could, i would gladly exchange my health for his. We still are doing test to figure out whats wrong.

Hello,
My son is 11 and has the majority of his seizures while sleeping. They are cal nocturnal seizures, though they can happen any time of the day when sleeping. My son also has partial complex seizures as well as Absence and Atonic seizures. We also have him sleep in our room to make sure he is safe. Have you told his doctor about the nocturnal seizure?
I would love to talk with you more if you would like...
