Hi everyone. My daughter has spent the last few days in the hospital due to her seizures. This is very new to me, and I'm hoping someone here can help me understand what I should do. Sorry this will be a little long. Please do read 
We did an EEG and MRI and the EEG showed positive generalized seizure activity, and also some evidence that the baseline wasn't normal. The MRI was negative for anything of note.
Here is a description of her seizures from my point of view:
PHASE 1: They start with questionable or light seizure activity. We see evidence of seizure activity, but it may be quick, take a keen eye to spot, and is interlaced with non-seizure behavior and seemingly normal mental capacity. The questionable seizure activity can be seen as uncoordinated movements, short wobbles in balance, or brief staring spells. This stage really takes some getting used to her and her behavior to even be able to spot it. This may last upwards of 5 minutes, and it is really hard to tell when exactly they may begin, since you may not spot them all.
PHASE 2: At this point, she may (or may not) progress into definitive more consistent seizure activity. During this phase, she has longer starring spells, periods of unresponsiveness (can't get her to listen or respond). These are much more obvious and would cause anyone who even knows her at all to ask 'what is wrong with her?' or 'what is she doing?'. During this phase she will still NOT be totally 100% unresponsive. During this phase, the seizure activity still comes in waves. She may suddenly stand up and decide and say she is hungry and reach for food or drink, or try to walk around. She can even chew and swallow or argue with you if you try to take it away. She may be confused, sometimes irritable, sometimes angry. She can often speak and even respond to yes or no questions almost as if she is running on instinct. This phase is only discernible from PHASE 1 in that the waves are more obvious and/or intense. She still will have periods of brief normal mental capacity. This phase may last upwards of 10 minutes.
PHASE 3: At this point she begins to get tired. She may nod off, or completely fall asleep. She may whine or make small grunts of frustration. She may twitch or quiver (even while sleeping) or complain of being itchy. It may seem that this is the post seizure phase, but she will continue to have more questionable light seizure activity (similar to PHASE 1) if awake, or even while sleeping. If she has remained awake, or if she awakes in this phase, she will have more coherence than she does in PHASE 2. She may be able to recite the alphabet. She may be able to count backwards from 10. But shortly after doing so, she may show another sign of 'seizure activity' such as have another starring spell or sudden unresponsive moment. Again, this may last upwards of 5 minutes and it is difficult to tell when it ends because she may be sleeping or the seizure activity will be mild and trailing off.
All in all, this entire 'episode' (all three phases) can last upwards of 20 minutes. This is difficult because it is hard to tell when the phases change. Also we were told to administer the Diastat (after 10 minutes), but she is likely in PHASE 3 and she may lucidly fight us or we may fight with ourselves on whether or not she is still showing activity, and whether or not it is dangerous for us not to administer it. We just don't know, and our stopwatches are very uncertain, and she may tell us that she is fine. We don't know if we should consider the seizure to be ended or not.
Anyone have any experience with this?
After these episodes subside, she may nap or not, but will be just fine. No lasting effects, and no real memory of the entire thing. She passes all her neurology exams without any problems.
We have had these >10 minute episodes ever day for 4 days in a row now. She is on Keppra, but they say it may take a little longer to fully start working.
Thanks in advance
