My nine year old son had his 1st two seizures (that I am aware of anyway) in mid December. The first one, I only saw his mouth moving, him making weird gurgling noises, and a whole lot of saliva. The second one was a tonic clonic (whole body shaking, followed by period where he just lay there breathing hard). Both seizures happened in the early morning around 5:30-6:00.
He had an MRI (normal), EEG (abnormal with lots of activity, but our ped was not confident in explaining the results, so told us to wait until we saw the neuro), and bloodwork (normal). While we waited for the neuro apt, the ped prescribed leviteracetem (not sure about spelling, but generic for Keppra).
So far so good on the Keppra generic. No more seizures, although he does have some twitches in his sleep. These happen consistently and ped doesn't know what to think of these.
So, all of this is new and scary. He has never had any health problems. I am trying to figure out what all I should ask the neuro when we finally have our appointment in 6 days. Any advice on what to ask or what to expect?
Thank you!
