Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Mikey (5, ASD, CP, DD) had absence seizures (or what we thought were) when he was younger. They seemed to be better until about a month ago. He's back to having these episodes a couple times a week. His neuro is scheduling another EEG (although haven't received phone call yet) and he's having another MRI on Monday (last one showed ischemic stroke and focal area brain abnormality). Saturday night we had a dance slumber party for my dd's bday. We had a strobe light on and Mikey had almost a minute long episode. Of course, we shut the light off. Further making me believe they are seizures of some kind. I have really no education on seizures (or whatever you want to call these episodes) and could use any info anyone has. What kind of EEG's can they do for this young? Last one was 24 hour sleep deprived but I'm interested in a longer one. A friend of mine went through over 20 years of episodes before having a 3 day eeg done which showed over 90 episodes. I was with her the whole time and only noticed a handful. I dont' want mikey to go through years of this (further causing neuro problems). Has anyone done anything more then a 24 hour EEG? Any advice/info on the seizures/episodes or where I may go to read more about it.
