DD1 (3.6) was dx with Epilepsy in January, drop attacks & some absences.
She had an MRI in March - widespread cortical dysplasia. Paed wrote that this increases the need to be aggressive in monitoring/treating the seizures. She currently takes 5mls Epilim morning and night.
About 10 days ago she had a 'turn' - vacant look, mouth moving as if she had something caught in her teeth & was trying to dislodge it - quite subtle but not responding for about 30 seconds. Yesterday, she had the same thing, and again this morning while waiting to go into preschool.
She has come home from preschool & begged to go to bed. When I said no, she has fallen asleep half-sitting, half-standing, leaning against the sofa next to me.
She hasn't had anything noticeable since January, but now 3 episodes quite close together that we have noticed. Possibly more that we haven't.
Do I need to phone the paed's secretary as we don't see him again until Mid-August, or do we just wait until then?
