Go back to the hospital???? I swear im going to have a nervous break down

go back to the hospital sounds like she is having seizures which can result from an injury to the head especially in children

You are her mother and you know.  I would ask them to observe her overnight if this is bothering you this much.  I would also ask them to get you the referral.  Sometimes they can get you in much faster.  Does she have a neurologist?  If she does, call them.  If she doesn't call and tell them what is happening.  Believe me I really do understand and it is frusterating!  You are her voice.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Please immediately rush to the ER or to a neurologist. A MRI of the brain needs to be done immediately along with an EEG. Your daughter needs to be kept under observation. Take care!
