Hi,
What you are describing sounds a lot like a complex partial seizure. I have them and I start to get a muscle spasm around my mouth, see colors flashing back and forth in my eyes and then I blank out often I will wander around not realizing what I'm doing until after the seizure is over and then I feel tired and confused for a few seconds.
If I may ask: Have these problems happened with your daughter when she first goes to bed or a little while after she has gotten up in the morning? If they have it could be a myoclonic seizure she is possibly having. If you're interested you can check out these websites for more info.

Here's wishing you and your daughter only the best of luck. May God Bless You Both!
