Agibean – Thanks for the comment. It makes me feel better to hear other stories that end (continue) well. I had a friend that had tiny seizures, well outwardly they were tiny. The only thing that would let me know she was having one was that her eyelids would start to flutter, oh and she would stop adding to the conversation. The difficult thing is that she didn’t out grow hers and she can’t get a drivers license which makes it very difficult to get a job. The bus system in her area is a total joke.

I’m sorry you have to go through this! My sister had the same exact seizures as a baby and did indeed grow out of them well before she was school age. At that time (back in the dark ages), they had my mom giving her medication for them-it was preventive, though she still had seizures from time to time. She grew up to be healthy, and as far as I know, without side effects from either the meds or the seziures. There was no history in our family of seizures at all.

FWIW, it’s not uncommon that seizures are NOT what we think of as seizures-the falling down kind. A friend of mine went undiagnosed for several years because she’d been thinking all along she was just “spacing out”. She learned that too many people don’t recognize that sort of seizure AS a seziure.

From what I’ve heard, Children’s Hospital is the best place you could possibly take a sick child, so if you do end up there, I’m sure Sophie will be in the best of hands!

Good luck to you.

Keep the sarcasm, it helps with arrogant pompous neurologists. Seizures are tricky and be benign. I know you're going to worry but let me in a secret worry never changes anything. Siper Hugz and know I'm thinking of the both of you. JaniceNW´s last blog post..The Blues

Oh, that is scary! I hope everything is okay and that she outgrows them quickly. Do keep us updated. It's funny that Sophia actually ways MORE than Alex, even though Alex is a few inches taller. Allison´s last blog post..He Just Has Good Taste
