Sounds very much like a form of epilepsy (possibly 2 different kinds). Good news you have the scan booked so quickly. The doctors will advise you afterwards. You can contact Epilepsy Action www.epilepsy.org.uk/info?from=main-nav for advice and contact with other parents of children with seizures. Best of luck.
