6 MONTH OLD INFANT POSSIBLY HAVING SEIZURES
Wed, 04/06/2005 - 02:13Topic: Family & Friends
I am in desperate need of help and/or advice. My 6 month old son has been having these "episodes" where he gets a blank stare, he stops breathing, and will not respond to anything. Afterwards, he is very out of it, and falls asleep. We have rushed him to our local Childrens hospital twice in the past couple months and doctors can't find anything wrong with him. Doctors have done a 3 day EEG, a CT Scan, and an MRI, and found nothing. Right now they are saying it could be acid reflux, but I just don't believe that's it. I have done tons of research on seizures, but still don't see a definite answer. If it's seizures then what kind are they? And from the research I've done, I can't figure out any cause of the seizures? I can't find much specific to seizures in infants. Does anyone have any information that may help me? Thank you so much!!Kelly
