Hi

> Do you mean a tonic-clonic?

>>Haven;t a clue

How did it start?

>>He was tried today, fell asleep in the lesson before it happened (highly

unusual), was staring, wide eyed, hands shook slightly, he dribbled, lips went

blue, teacher laid him down, cold hands and feet, tired after, called

ambulance, chirpy on the way to hospital, refused obs apart form finger prick

for

nblood sugar which was apparently 4.6, subduded but OK when DH (grhhhhh) finally

called me at work and I went to hospital. 4 hours later at my insistnec he was

discharged. He has eaten every little today, two small fromage frias for

breakfast, refused snack, 5 grapes and small bit of apple (common foods for him)

about an hour before the incident

How > was he this morning?

>>>Same as usual before school although sleep pattern has been a bit up the

creek for last few days - early wakening but going off OK at night

Is he sick?

>>>Nope

New supplement?

>>>Nope. Only thing we have done differently is started Speech & Langauge

Extension CD (Listenign Programme) 2 days ago, he liked it so much he put the

headphones back on after one track which I thought would be enough to start with

and listened to some more.

> When is the EEG?

>>>Anybodys guess, maybe 8 weeks. Is there any point ? He will need sedation

for it which will affect readings. General treatment would be do nothing,

including EEG, see if it happens again...........

Have you done an EEG before?

seizures are not some special case and the brain will self repair if

it can.

i'd stop chelating. if it was caused by chelation then it may repair

over a while, but with epilepsy the time frame is months.

would aim for a stress free enviroment which would mean no school

all the test etc are a waste of time.
