I was just checking to see what you found out. My daughter is 14 months old and had her first "febrile seizure" on Sept. 2nd. She was taken to the ER just to be on the safe side, but sent home within 3 hours. A week later we had an EEG and 4 days after they called and told us it was normal. A little less than a week after that I found her in her crib having another seizure. I called 911 because I was home by myself at the time and when paramedics arrived she was going into her 4th one and they would not stop. Every time she looked like she was coming out, she would start another. They pumped her full of meds in the ambulance and the ER staff put her in an induced coma because she would not stop seizing. She woke up 9 hours later, after a CT Scan, MRI, and spinal tap. They found she had viral meningitis, but could not say for sure that is what caused the seizures. They put her on phenobarbetol to control any further seizure activity, we go back to the neurologist for another EEG next Tuesday. I am VERY uneasy about the whole situation and just do not know what to think. Any advice? I have looked else where for a second opinion, but Children's Hospital in Omaha, NE is the ONLY place that employs neurologists that specialize in pediatrics.
I don't have an answer, and I hope you don't take this wrong. But my dog had a seizure a few weeks agao and the vet said it was most likely his thyroid ~ and it turned out to be. I have no idea if this would relate to a child. I just wanted to mention this to you. I hope he will be well. Bless you all.
What a blessing he is doing so well! Please see private message for some info on your post.
