I don't know how long the second lasted, as paramedics handled her and transported her to a local hospital. We originally felt that perhaps this was an isolated incident, despite findings on her EEG that showed some spike activity in the area of the brain behind her left ear during the photosensitivity testing. A couple of days ago, it happened again. Her first incident lasted about 90 seconds, after which she had about a 5 second rest to gather her breath before the second hit. The second was not as relentless as the first, as she was able to gasp for short breaths about every 8-10 seconds, instead of going completely without breathing as with the first episode.
Doctors are at odds as to the source of the seizures.
She is currently 24 lbs, and both sets of episodes have happened while she has had some other viral infection. In this period she sleeps very much and seems to be a little disoriented when she awakes. Both sets of episodes seem to be triggered when she is very upset, though we suspect this is merely a part of the trigger. EEG showed the one spike as mentioned above. Spinal was clear.
