Video Monitor? Something to Alert with nighttime seizures?
Fri, 10/09/2015 - 13:07Hi, My daughter has been seizure free for 8 years. She had a grand mal seizure Sunday night right as she began to fall asleep. She (nor I) can sleep - she is afraid to fall asleep. She wants to know if i'm not there how i would know if another one comes. We are going to get a video monitor - but i am wondering is there any type of monitor that we could use that would detect the movement and set an alarm type of thing? Something she would wear on her wrist? Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you.
