Guest guest Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hi - I¹m wondering if any of you have had my sons experience with seizures and if you can tell me what you did. My son has had 2 sleep deprived EEGs and 2 24 hour EEGs the most recent on April 13th. All have shown no seizure activity. He has had 4 seizures in the past 2 years which have been deemed febrile due to fever. On those occasions, the fever hit 103 in like 20 minutes and came down as about that fast. Today, however, he had a fever of 100 that stayed at that level. He went to lay down in his bed as when he is not feeling good he likes to sleep. So, I had checked on him and he was almost asleep and then 20 minutes later I checked on him again and he was having a seizure. His fever was not high and I administered DiaStat thinking he could have been seizing that whole 20 minutes. I did call 911 and we did go to the hospital and my neurologist gave me an Rx for Keppra. My question is, have any of you had this same experience with seizures nothing on the EEG and then your child having them with fevers (but not with every fever) I¹m uncomfortable giving my child anticonvulsants which have the same side effects that he already struggles with on a day-to-day basis without meds. Wondering if there is anything that I can do to prevent them during a fever besides trying to keep the fever down. Any help, insight, ideas would be greatly appreciated.
