Shot in the dark, seems we have all kinds in this community!
My 7yr old starting having Petite Mal seizures over the summer during Allstar Baseball, we just assumed he was over tired or the heat. It wasn’t until an episode at the beach during Jr Guards (in the water) that we started to realize this was something more and come to find out... Absence Seizures!! Wife and I felt like a pair of jackasses for not acting sooner. After a visit to the pediatrician we are noticing them much more often, more intense and lasting longer. It’s hard to watch your son go through these as a parent and feel helpless. He crashed on his bicycle and razor while having them, we can’t help but be helicopter parents now.
CHOC is saying 4 months for an appointment and Miller’s can maybe get us in sometime in October if we go get the EEG. Anyone gone through this have any advice? Any natural remedies we could try in the meantime? It’s killing us being in the dark right now with school and fall sports.
Thanks for the vent.
