3 year old started having seizures
Sun, 09/27/2015 - 20:38My healthy third year old son had his first seizure while we were driving about a month ago. It lasted for about 8 mins (approx). We took him to the emerency and they did some blood work and said he was fine. A few days ago he has his second seizure while playing at home. His eyes rolled up in his head and he became unconsious, this one lasted for about 3 mins. So we are waiting for more testing, as he has his EEG scan scheduled. Any advice?
Also, how do you know if your child is having an absense seizure?
Thanks
