This was the first time she ever had a seizure like this. We aren't sure what to call this one but about a minute before the video started, she was gagging and arching back a lot (convulsing). It looks like she is looking at things, but she was not at all focusing on anything, basically completely unresponsive. We think she had a tonic clonic and then went into a partial complex after. She was in hospital for 3 days after this.

  • Did she pass out ? and why do you open up her shirt for ?

  • @xxxAlphaxxx5 She did not pass out immediately. she was actually taken to the ER because this was in the middle of a cluster of seizures and she was hospitalized for those and pneumonia. we opened her shirt to ensure that she was breathing adequately because she tends to stop breathing during her seizures. And plus, it was really scary. This was the first time we had ever seen those types of seizures in her.

  • No, she did not go into a complex partial seizure. She's in a phase called "postictal confusion". How long the postictal confusion lasts varies from person to person, and from seizure to seizure. You did a wonderful job with this recording; however, what would be even better is recording her having a seizure at the very moment when the seizure is taking place. And get her entire body in the picture, so her doctor can visualize everything that's going on. Again, you did a wonderful job.

    Thank you for clearing that up. I wish I could have recorded the beginning, but i wasn't even the one recording. I was too busy freaking out. My sister grabbed the camera, family is really good about documenting stuff.

    I'm trying to take the audio out, but Audioswap isn't working. It has some personal info i was hoping to take out. any ideas how?

  • No child should have to go through this. By the way the video/music ripped my soul out through my eyes in form of tears... T-T

  • aww that's so sad! hold ON baby girl!!!

  • bless your family i wish you guys well and in my case if i had a daughter like this id waste no time at all but god bless your family

  • wow that must be scary, You did an amazing job staying calm. How long did that stage last for. What happends during that stage?

  • Hello, I was just watching the videos you have put on here, I can understand how awful some of it is for you because my daughter does similar to this ?post-ictal video. Do you know any more about her episode like this? Has she had any more? My daughter has had episodes like this, but without any arching or gagging before. We are desperate to know what might be going on.

    Thanks

  • Poor baby's really out of it

  • Let me know whenever you'd like, and I'll have no problem with deleting the video at your request.

  • Looks like the video ends up being on my channel, instead of my reply with a video as an attachment. I'm still new at the upload side of YouTube.
