Ds2 woke up screaming about an hour ago, dh went upto him and I coul tell all was not well, when I went up ds2 was sitting on dh knee and had a vacant look on his face, he couldn't put his dummy in his mouth.
After about 2-3 minutes, he started jerking, foot twitching, and hand, we brought him down stairs, kept him warm, and he kept twitching his body for another 15-20 minutes. When the twitching died down he cold put his dummy in his mouth, and I asked him if he wanted to go back to bed, he nodded. I took him back to bed, and he almost fell asleep straight away.
This has happened before, before Christmas, and I think that day like today ds2 hadn't had a nap. Dh's dad has epilepsy. I have ead my book and this sounds like a petit mal.
Any advice? btw ds will be 2 at the end of March
