Well... at her age, I was fighting for my life from a severe reaction to an epi med, having had epi (and other goodies) all my life and multiple brain surgeries for hydrocephalus since infancy. (See siggy...) My daughter, now 16, had a procedure (ablation) to treat a heart arrhythmia last April...and my son is autistic and has a brain malformation that will likely require surgery at some point.

I'm not trying to downplay your concerns; she is your daughter, and you have every right and reason to be concerned, but this is to illustrate that we learn to get through what we have to in this life. She will, too, just as I and many others here have.

Your description of her symptoms makes me wonder if she's having partial seizures. They can manifest in hundreds of different ways and involve only part of the brain, so consciousness is usually intact. I had them for 25 years before we knew what they were. When you go to the neuro, see what he says about that.

Good luck!
