Denise,

My thought could be absence seizures. My sister has them. She does
funny kinds of things before they come on, like holding her hands
to her head and gently rocking it back and forth, twirling her
hair, starts to move objects around the room.

Then sometimes she will pass out cold, like Hannah. This is scary
because they could hurt themselves when falling and you never
know when it will happen. I was walking behind my sister the first
time the passed out and I caught her,thank goodness because we were in
the garage and she would have gone down like a ton of bricks on the
garage floor!

MRI but how about an EEG? this should help with the dagnosis I would
think.
