Something is wrong with my daughter

[Gin23]

I have taken my daughter to numerous doctors and still no answers.  My daughter is 20 months old.  She goes into these “trances” which I believe the doctors are calling absent seizures (but not officially yet), frequently.  Sometimes a few times a day, every day.  Then she can go days without having any spells.  She seems to have them when she is tired.  She stares off into space with no response to anything, lasts up to 30 seconds.  She also urinates frequently (diaper changes 1 every hour), sometimes so heavy that she leaks through her clothes too!  She is an excessive droller always wetting her shirts (never has stopped since 6 months of age).  She doesn’t hardly eat.  She will only have 1 bite of something and spit the rest out.  She drinks fine (but not overly).  She wakes frequently through the night for diaper changes.  She snores sometimes.  She sleeps a lot during the day too.  Sometimes only able to stay awake for 7 hours during the day.  Any ideas?

If you are concerned as i see you are, and I don't know what to think about what it could be, a suggestion is video tape her and what she does, like her "trances" this might help the doctors better.
I was told by my son's doctor to do this so they could see how he breathes and things, well I didn't have a camcorder and so it took a little longer to get the answers but keep going if you are concerned.
Good luck

The excessive urinating could be from drinking fluids does she have a lot of drinks during the day although you say she doesnt drink a lot, ,have you still got her on a bottle as they do drink more ,if this is the case change it to a sippy cup, and let her have plenty of drinks, water etc during ,the day,the drooling is probably from teething and is normal they do drool a lot when cutting teeth. Do you give her finger foods to eat herself as children respond better at this age feeding themselves than being spoon fed.Perhaps she sleeps because she is bored so play games with her , read stories, music, Fun, you may find if she is more stimulated the staring into space may lessen .Good Luck
