Daughter Having Seizures? Posted: 04-10-06 08:09am
My daughter is 5 years old and has been
diagnosed with 18p- chromosome
syndrome......She is missing a small
portion of her 18th chromosome. For the
most part she is a normal child; she just
has growth problems and is slightly
developementally delayed.
Anyway, ever since she was little....May
about 1 or 2, we noticed her doing this
little thing, especially when she was
tired. She would lay on her tummy, push
up on her arms, and start to rock up and
down slowly. Her eyes would blink, and
she would be in her own little world.
They would usually last less than a
minute. When we would call her name, she
wouldn't respond at first. Then she
would either just lay down and go to sleep
or would get up and go on like nothing
happened. They happened more frequently
when she was little. We don't see them
as often, but they do still happen. I am
wondering if she could possibly be having
absence seizures?

One of my nieces used to do something like
that, she'd lay on her stomach, stick her
bum up in the air and rock back and
forward and then fall to sleep.. The
older she got the less it happened. I
think it may just be a comfort thing, but
I could be completely wrong.
