My son, who is 3, just recently saw his neurologist for a follow up. The doctor has decided to move forward with a sedated MRI and 24 hour stay in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit at our children's hospital. While sedated they will also conduct a microarray test to check for any genetic abnormalities.
He continues to have episodes that we cannot explain. The most recent one happened on fathers day. After his bath my son fell asleep in the recliner. Our older children had already made a pallet on the floor so my husband moved my son to that pallet. A while later my older son told us that he was crying. I went and sat by my son. His eyes were open with tears coming out but he was not making any sound and his entire body was shaking/tremoring. He did not respond to my being there but I covered him with a blanket and sat with him. Once the shaking stopped he started to cry (making noise), he looked scared and we thought he was going to throw up. He never moved from his spot off of the floor and eventually rolled over and went back to sleep. His neurologis thinks that this might have been a night terror although she says shaking isn't characteristic of a night terror but she said crying isn't characteristic of a seizure.
Back story: my son began seeing the neurologist in March because he was having tremors in his hands and at daycare while sitting at the table he had a spell where his entire body was shaking. When he saw his neuro for the first time she said that it sounded like he might be having seizures based off of everything that we had described to her. His EEG came back normal and we were told to follow up in 3 months.
I am not sure what is going on, but I am looking forward to getting answers.
