for about 12 months i have noticed ds2 going a bit funny, his eyes sort of go blank, no one else had noticed it , probably because it lasts for about 3 seconds at a time. he also has days where he is kind of blinking in slow motion as though hes really tired (except hes not)
a few people knowing im a worrier told me i was fussing for nothing but eventually i asked the doc who referred him for an eeg.
he had it done a couple of weeks ago and the results say that its abnormal but not diagnostic. that it showed the type of activity associated with epilepsy, but mostly picked up on one side which is not what would be expected in absence type seizures.
we now have to keep him awake ALL night and take him for it again in the morning.
i dont really know what to think. if its not absence seizures but its not normal what else could it be?
hes had a brain scan and that was normal.
