It may not be a neurologigal disorder causing these seizures in Janelle. It may be Pulmonary Edema or heart murmurs. You need to have various specialists to check this baby out. Sometimes with a nwew born their nervous system may noy be fully developed and they may have tremors until their nervous system completely develops, but for it to go on for 12 min. Call your neuroligists immediately and ask for DIASTAT RECTAL GEL. Don't leave home without it.
