Dear Mom,
Yes, this sounds like a seizure to me also. My youngest sister had some of these very same symptoms when she was just a toddler. She was put on phenobarb for a few years, and then allowed to wean from the med. She has had no further seizures that we are aware of. She is now in her early 20's.

Keep a close watch, and write down how many times she has an episode. You may want to look into another neurologist.

Best wishes, Dodi
