How scary. What is she doing when it happens? Is it like she is not

there at the moment, you know like looking right through you. Does

she turn to you if you speak to her while it is happening? Look at

her toes and fingers when it happens are they clenched or curled up?

Is there any other odd muscles tightness when it's happeneing? Is she

sitting up or laying down? How is she afterwards? Does it happen only

at night? Those things will be what will help the doctors understand

what is going on, so pay attention to all you can when it happens. I

know it is scary and that you just want to hug her but try and see

what's going on. Please let me know what happens...my prayers will be

with you.
