EEG / strobes - how did your kids go?

Fri, 03/18/2016 - 08:50
My 18 month old son is being tested for petit mal seizures, he was asleep when they did the strobe part but from the 2nd lot of flashes his arms and legs started shaking (not like a startle reflex) Was this a seizure? Or a normal variation of what can happen with the strobes?
