My 11 yr old daughter was dignosed with seizure activity in the left hemisphere of her brain at 14 months old, this is after she had her first seizure which consisted of eyes rolling back in her head, convalations, and unconsciousness. Triggers then was in a light sleep, drowsy and flashing lights.
Second, one that we know of was 1st grade after having a migrain at school most of the day with the school nurse sending her back to class saying nothing was wrong with her. She got off the bus crying with red streaks down her face. I gave her the disolvable pain meds the neuroligist gave us and within mins she went into convalations with her eyes rolling back and tears down her face and Unconsciousness. Soon after she went into a normal sleep for hours after.
Now, the problem we are having now is she is 11 yrs old 5th grade. 3 weeks ago we were getting to go for pictures with Santa. I was curling her hair as she was only awake for about 30 mins. She told me her head hurt alil and she felt really tiered. I can see her through the mirror infront of us and her eyes start to roll to the right side of her head with her eye lids shutting. Her body leans the same way the eyes go. I hurry to get the curler out of her hair but, as soon as I start to get it out she falls to the floor (falling to the left not the right). She is Unconscious, skin tone as pale white as can be, lips blue, sweating and tears pouring from her eyes. I keep asking her if she is ok and calling her name with no responce. It seemed like forever but, know it only lasted about 10-15 secs. Within a min or so she does wake comfused not knowing how or why she was on the floor. The oncall neuroligist said with her history its possiable this was one and another would follow to call on Monday to get her in. I did call with the nurse practictionar telling me my daughter didnt have a seizure as a seizure paitent wouldnt have symptoms before the onset of one. So, now I am so confused and have taken her for an EEG and now awaiting results. She didnt fall asleep during the testing even after having her awake all night as they said too. The only thing is when the strobe lights where on her, her eyes poured with tears and she couldnt stop. Does this mean anything? Any suggestions to help my daughter would be great.
Thanks!
