Seizure

This was a cell phone video of a seizure that our baby had. We took the video so that the paediatrician could confirm that what we were describing were indeed seizures.

How many vaccinations did your kid have before this video ?

Cause i think vaccinations are doing this.

Hi there. Thanks for asking. She was only 6 weeks old at the time and had not had any vaccinations at all. So far all the tests have come back normal (EEG, CAT scan, MRI, genetic tests) and we still don't know what's caused it.

did ur baby grow out of it? my baby did the same thing,,and they cant tell me why..she was in the icu for 4 days

[superstarmom980926]

Hi there,

I can't really say if she's grown out of it. She has been on seizure medication since last November which thankfully has been working. We actually, as of yesterday, have started weaning her off of her medication so only time will tell if she will have them again. I'm sorry that that might not be much help. I hope your baby is doing ok and please keep me posted as to how he/she is doing. Thanks

My baby has seizures and you're reply is 'good baby'?!?!?!

My kids had seizures like this too. They were diagnosed with benign famial neonatal seizures. I started a Facebook group for it. Just search for BFNS.

@lookyouabigailkriby what is wrong with you?

@pocastriped This happened to my baby 11 years ago and doctors have called me crazy!!! Well I finally got them to do an eeg and she has epilepsy!!! All these years we could have had her on medicine so that she could have grown up normally instead of needing special education!!! Film it if you can! Take your baby to the doctor and do not stop till you get answers!!!

The biggest and strongest suggestion I can give you is to try to catch an episode on video to show your doctor. Our daughter never stopped breathing (thank goodness).

Our daughter is now almost 2.5 years old. She does have delays in her development but no specialist has been able to tell us why.

I'm sorry I don't have more answers for you.  Please let me know how she does. I know that this is scary and if you ever want to talk or have other questions, please let me know

Hello my daughter is 4 weeks old and i brought her to the hospital today i think she is having seizures kinda looks like this but my daughter goes rightt redd in the face and kinda stops breathing did that ahppen to your baby ??

Hi there,

She will be 2 years old next month. Thankfully she was able to be weaned off her medications and has since been seizure free. She does however have delays in her development and no one knows exactly why.

[lookyouabigailkriby]

how old is she now

[warkentinscrapbook]

Sorry it's taken so long to replay. I hope your son is doing well. Our daughter now appears to have a form of mitochondrial myopathy. Perhaps it's something you should look into? I hope everything works out.
