My 19-month-old daughter had three tonic clonic seizures early last month and spent two nights at a Children's Hospital. She did hit her head when she fell (was just standing in front of the TV so fall was for no apparent reason), but she also had some staring and shaky arms a couple of days earlier when my MIL was watching her. She mentioned it to me, I didn't think it was anything until she had the first of the three seizures and I realized how wrong I was at the time.
So, she had a short EEG, which was normal and they are going to get a 24 hour one in the coming weeks. We went in yesterday for an MRI, which they had to put in an IV and sedate her for. Four hours after we got home the hospital calls and said the radiologist wants her back within the week for more scans, this time with contrast. So, I'm guessing this isn't good news. I am hoping the first scans weren't clear enough or something, but I imagine that they wouldn't want to sedate her again unless they saw something out of the ordinary. I hope I'm wrong. I was hoping for some feedback from people who are more knowledgeable about these tests. Anyone had a callback? Was it nothing, just precautionary? What could it be? I, of course, am worried about tumor. I am probably just panicking. Anyway, I'm new to the thread. My daughter is on Keppra, which either is working or she had a fluke cluster of seizures and will never have them again.
