[quote=Anonymous]My child has seizures in their sleep. I would go get checked by a neurologist. PSV, Children's and Children's Inova have amazing teams. I am VERY surprised that the neurologist on call did not have an EEG performed to rule out seizure. Not all seizures "look like they do on TV". Its important to have the EEG done within 24 hours of the seizure to make this determination. For our daughter, It started as weird face twitches/face feeling numb. We didn't know that was an "aura" or warning that seizure was about to come. Eventually the seizures did move into full body repetitive movements. Afterward she is not quite alert, and once she is, she's unable to speak clearly for about 10-20 minutes. What she has is called benign rolandic epilepsy and it is controlled with medicine. We use a sleep monitor that alerts us of seizures/weird movements/breathing at night. I hope this isn't the case for you but just wanted to give you some insight. [/quote]
