My daughter had her second seizure today. Well, I don't think it's her second seizure but it's the second one that I've witnessed. I think she's had quite a few now that we haven't seen.
She was watching TV on the couch. When I went into the living room I saw her convulsing. Her eyes were rolled back and she was just convulsing, her whole body. Last time she had one it only affected one side of her body. This went on for what seemed like forever. It was at least 3 minutes but I think it was 4 or 5. My husband and I were about to call an ambulance because we didn't know what to do but then she finally started to come out of it. When she stopped convulsing she was making a weird snoring noise but still out of it. When she finally came to she was not coherent. She finally was able to get up and come lie down in my bedroom. She said she didn't feel well and went to sleep. She's been sleeping ever since.
I talked to her pediatrician when this happened and told him I needed him to get me into the neurologist sooner. He's going to call the neurologist and see if they can work me in sooner. But what does this sound like to you? Does it sound like a grand mal?
I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. I don't know how to manage this. I don't even know what's going on with her. I hate feeling so in the dark and not knowing what to do.
