(((Hugs))) Two of Tom's last three seizures were febrile, at the start of a regular cold. My bet would be Noah's just good and sick, with a much-lowered seizure threshold, not a brain infection. Tom's last seizure was with a lovely stomach bug. I'm guessing the vomitting upset Tom's electrolytic / chemical balance? Not sure how well Noah's staying hydrated, and taking in more than water? Prayers he gets healthy quickly and the seizury stuff goes away.
Editted to add: With the vomitting, Tom started cycling sleeping in my lap, waking to spit up stomach bile, and then he would do a little chewing with his mouth (which always makes me wonder if it's seizury?), and back to sleep again. I finally gave him a dose of diazepam, our in case we're worried he might have a seizure medicine (as opposed to Diastat to stop a seizure). He threw up 10 minutes later, and then that was it. He was able to keep fluids down afterwards and I knew we were on the upswing. Maybe try giving Noah Diastat anyway... to kind of break the cycle?
