Hello everyone,
My daughter will be 9 months old tomorrow, and i believe that she has been dealing with undiagnosed seizures since birth.
She had to be born by emergency csection because of the cord being wrapped, and then she was born with an infection that we have reason to believe was either sepsis or meningitis. We were never told, but the combo of meds she was on would only be used for one of the 2 according to an unrelated pediatrician.
At first she would have rapid blinking randomly, then she would be staring off into the distance or almost through you. After that her neck and body would get stiff and shake. Now her whole body gets stiff and shakes, sometimes with arm jerks. She also will still stare off into the distance sometimes without anything else.
Her doctors kept telling me it was just baby stuff. Finally we got to a pediatric neuro at 8 months who did 30 minute eeg that was normaly, but she didnt have any seizures while we were there. We have a 24hr eeg with video on the 29th that will catch them hopefully.
Do these look like they could be seizures?
