[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP -

Did you say you saw a neurologist? Did s/he want to do an EEG? Did the neuro want to do an MRI?

I would think the neuro would be the one to opine on the MRI, not the developmental ped. Ignore the people who are trying to scare you off from doing an MRI. Mom of a kid with a seizure disorder here whose kid has had 2 brain MRIs, one was sedated at a young age. Plenty of young kids get sedation every day. I don't know if you need the test or not, but if you do, you get it. I personally would think it would be useful to see if there has been a stroke.

It's interesting that you were asked about seizures. Which doctor asked? Did they want to test? Not all seizures are obvious. Some occur while sleeping and some are very quick absence ones that are hard to notice especially with a very young child. Some kids are even in a near constant state of seizure. That's definitely something you would want to know, so I would ask the neuro about doing an EEG.

Keep looking for answers. Knowledge is power and can give you direction. Sometimes you have to get second opinions or go to a better hospital or travel to get answers. Hopkins is very good. [/quote]
