He could have a few different kinds of seizures. My daughter has some that she's in and out of with no side effects some that leave her very disorientated for several minutes others cause her to have a throaty noise which i realized the other day was actually her gasping to breath and occasionally some that wipe her out for the better part of the day. fortunately she doesn't have ore than one or two a month usually. good luck at the doctors.

Katie, THanks for the info. I think from looking at the web page that it could be the drop attacks. His first episode was the end of Aug. We have been to a neuro, but we are going for a second opinion on Tues. It just feels like a very long time not knowing what it is. The episodes are a little over a week apart. Yesterday he had the episode I told you about, but then last evening I called him to help clean off the dinner table and he said things got blurry so he sat down and it went away. Another time he came in from playing in the snow and was standing at the door way. He was looking funny and rubbing his eyes. I asked him if he was ok and he said in a calm voice " I only see half of you" I told him to sit down. That was not an usual episode, but now that I think about it, it could be something related.

We have controlled the ones that were triggered by him touching things and the eye rolling/arm flying ones he would have when he woke up but these past couple of weeks he's been having more of these quick little seizures where his head will drop when he's sitting and his whole body lets go, if he could stand I'm sure he would fall.
