Possible epilepsy in 2year old daughter... worried momma

Fri, 11/04/2016 - 16:59
Hi everyone, My daughter has been having episodes where her eyes are fixed to the left for about a minute and she doesn't respond to us and won't turn to look at me or anything during that time. She seems to get very irritable and rubs her eyes before the episodes occur. Her pediatrician said it looks like seizure activity and could be epilepsy and diagnosed her for now, we have an eeg and appt with neurologist scheduled in 3 weeks. Does this sound familiar to any one else? What type of seizure do you think it sounds like, any info would be great I'm overwhelmed with all the reading I have beeen doing.
