My 9 yr old possibly had a seizure how can I tell

[Mayghen]

My 9 was in her room.  After this was all said and done she said that she was having a dream and couldnt open her eyes.  Then she was banging her head on the dresser.  After she woke up, she complained of a real bad headache, she wet herself then she couldnt stop throwing up.  She was very lethargic and we had a hard time keeping her awake.  We took her to the ER and they said they are treating it as a seizure for now.  Are these signs of a seizure?  What else should I look for???

Thank you vickilyn.  Just an hour after I posted last nite, she had another seizure.  They think she has  begnign rolandic epilespy.  I am taking her to her Dr tomorrow and see where we go from there.   They even sent her home after her 2nd seizure in 7 hrs, I was not happy.   Thanks for the help.

Yes they are symptoms of the postictal period {time that follows a seizure}....GET AN EEG AND AN MRI!! And remember that you are the one that pays the Dr.s wages  so do not be afraid to tell them what you want done!! I learned this the hard way!!

Good luck!!!
