My ex partner brought my 4 1/2 yr old son back from his visit today and said he had a 4 min period of " blankness" in his kitchen,where he laid on the floor,would not respond to his name,when he picked him up he was totally stiff.I have Epilepsy,My nan has Epilepsy,there's a high possibility that my 10 yr old daughter has Epilepsy (diagnosed at 5,then "undiagnosed" again,on the basis that a 20 min EEG at 10 did not pick up a sseizure-what ever!)this is almost the same age that concerns were first brought up about my daughter,it really couldn't happen AGAIN could it?? he seems fine,but has fallen asleep MUCH earlier than usual tonight...tiredness after seizure perhaps....I cant get him to doctor til tomorrow mornign,do I now INSIST upon tests for him,when they already think i'm a neurotic mother? (I would also like to add that I do have another son that there is NO such health concerns with,and both my daughter and the son that I'm worried about have other problems,i.e learning difficulties,ASD and hypermobility syndrome,which my middle son is not affected by any of these problems,so I don't think I'm being neurotic) Could God be that cruel? Don't they have enough to cope with?AM I just being nerotic wanting testing done,if only to rule it out now??!!

I would definitely insist on testing. Mother's instincts are usually always right. If your doctor now will not do testing, find a doctor that will. As for God being cruel, he is a loving God and only gives us what we can handle. Sometimes we look at things that happen to us as a punishment from God, but it is not. There are times when I think to myself that I just can't handle anymore, but then God shows me the way. Sometimes I feel that I am given the highest mountain in the world to climb and just can't get to the top. Then I finally get to the top and things are easy for while I'm going down that mountain.

You CAN have a normal EEG and still have seizures. An abnormal EEG is NOT the definitive of epilepsy neither is a normal the exclusion of epilepsy.

Trust you gut! You in your heart as this child's mother KNOWS something isn't right. If it's epilepsy, so what? You know how to deal with it. You will do what you have to. Have faith in yourself.

I am going with my gut and I think you should ... wait.
Give him the best nutrition you can, keep stress at a minimum. Heal from the inside out.
Testing isn't really going to tell you much more than you most likely know at this moment.
