Slurring   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #16100 of 16676 |
My ds Randy (7 3/4yo) had an unusual seizure for the first time a few weeks ago,
but it is sticking with me. He had his usual 'silent seizure', but he drooled
quite a lot this time. Then he slurred his speech off and on for the next
24hrs.

Has anyone else experienced slurring after a seizure? I talked to Neuro
afterward, but wonder if I should have taken him to the ER instead. I just
don't know if I did the right thing.
