Could any mama who has a child who experiences (or experienced) the above please help me.

My 5 year old boy used to have petit mals a LOT, they disappeared when we started a type of Music Therapy with him. However they have now returned and his language is regressing.

You need to get him medical care, I would arrange to see the GP as soon as possible.

I hope it gets sorted!

That's exactly what they are.

Staring into space for eg 5-10 seconds, non-responsive, then doesn't realize they've happened

We're booked in with the neurologist for Monday week
