WendyI am probably the Joe mereloaded spoke about. Your daughter is you and the body goes thru a lot when a person has one seizure. She is on my prayer list. As for the time I was in the hospital she posted right. I have had seizures for 50+ years. The time spoken about I went into status epilepticus. Which is one seizure after another until wel until. I was told by the head of the hospital that I had come out and my mother had been called to come back and pick me up. I don't remember that conversation. Within minutes after he said that I went back into status epilepticus. I have had seizures which were convulsive and they do drain energy. I have had a couple a day now and then. In status epilepticus the person is having back to back seizures. Mine were all convulsive. I was having 40 convulsive seizures an hour. They started around 10 pm. There was no 911 back then. We had a friend who got home around 4am. His station wagon was what got me to the hospital. What I do remember was stopping by Mom's house and comming to in a bed in the hospital 3 days later. The doctor I posted about told me " Split a hair a thousand times and thats how close to seeing God's face yo uwere. We had done everything we could. Your Mother never stopped praying. Mom had been at the hospital the whole time I had been there. They made room and demanded she get rest. Because of that incident I can say If it weren't for a MOthers prayer I wouldn't be here. Now that happened in 1970 or 71. Technology has come a long way and there are many advances that have been made since then. Prayers do wonders.Your daughter is being prayed for. Please understand she is in Gods hands. I'll be praying as will Mereloaded and others. Joe Please do come back and let us know how she is doing,

Thank you so much ! Joe,Now

Thank you mereloaded! They are going to do DNA test to find out the reason . It might be PCDH19 or SCNIA.
