Hi all,
Does anyone have any experience of night time seizures in children? My DS has been having what I thought were night terrors, but he has no memory of them. Last night he had what was much more clearly a seizure. I spoke to out of hour docs, and GP today, he is being urgently assessed in a couple of weeks time. He doesn't remember the episodes and is highly anxious anyway so I don't know what to tell him?
If you've had a child with seizures can you please help me figure out what to say to him? How did you explain it? What happens at the hospital and was it scary? I know they want to check for Epilepsy but what would that mean for him?
Google is not my friend here. Please help me to stay calm - feeling very upset right now. School knows but he's being monitored without him knowing. I'm worried that this is the start of something worse. I think he's had about 3-4 episodes this year, so not exactly all the time, but definitely not going away.
Any advice or reassurance welcome! He's 6.
Thanks
