Staring Spells

I am new to this board. My daughter, not yet 2 years old, was diagnosed with staring spells. She will just start staring off with a vacant expression and we cannot get her attention by name calling, touching, waving hand in front of face, etc. She will just snap out of it afterward like nothing ever happened. We did an hour long EEG (which came back normal), so the doctor does not want to diagnose her with absence seizures, but said what she was having is still seizures. We were able to catch her staring spell on camera and the doctor determined from that video she was having a seizure. I am just trying to make sense of all of this. We will be going for an MRI once getting approved through insurance. If I google anything about staring spells, the only information I come up with is absence seizures. Has anyone else gotten a diagnoses of staring spells and not absence seizures? Did your doctor want to put you on seizure medication? Our doctor feels that we should put her on Keppra if she keeps having these spells. I guess I should mention we do not see these spells that often (even though they are hard to miss because they only last 5-10 seconds). Only about 5 times a week.
