Hello, My four year old son had a staring seizure tonight, but this time he wet his pants (which he never does anymore) has anyone heard of this? Should I be worried that they are getting worse? Thanks for any info

My son's seizures were diagnosed at age 7 and we found that carrying a spare set of clothes in the car was a good idea. He did not always loose control during one, but having the change of clothes helped ease any embarassment for sure. If this is a new thing for your son, I would call the neuro on Monday to let him know it happened too. Take care! Gin
