Hi,there I am an nurse so I thought I was pretty calm about everything.Wrong LOL!
For the past several weeks, a few times a week my 6 year old son has seizures while in bed (he has a history of night terrors but this is very different). I have a seizure disorder and took lamictal while I was pregnant. He seems confused and tired after the event with no memory. I was very sad to think that he might have a seizure disorder, but hopeful since I have lived a normal life (and some relatives in the same boat). At the EEG this morning I was asked if my son has ever had a cardiac workup(he hasn't). The tech mentioned several dysrthmias present during hyperventilation and as he was dozing off. I am absolutely terrified. Does anyone has any experience or knowledge or such a thing? Any input is appreciated. I'm sure a workup will continue to follow, but with the holidays it may be weeks before I hear anything. Thanks for your help! |

Welcome to NT!
I'm so sorry for what you and your son are going thru. I know you must be terrified. I'm sure you've seen many things being a nurse, but when it comes to our own children, a certain instinct will set in and of course you are up in the air with this. ![]() Darlene has given you a good starting place. There are so many caring people in all of the forums. Lots of good info as well. I hope you can begin to get some answers soon. Please let us know how you get on with this. Caring, Rae ![]() |
