Help for my baby

Wed, 07/08/2015 - 10:20

I know this is the adult Forum, but I was hoping someone on here could help me with my baby. She is almost 16 months old, she has Dravet Syndrome. I was wondering if someone could explain to me how they feel after a seizure. Do you have a headache? Is your stomach upset? What can I do to help her? I have to administer Diastat and then she screams and is unconsolable for a couple hours. Any advice would help since I dont know what she is going through, thank you!!
