My Daughter had two normal febrile seizures and now this last one she had, lasted for 25 minutes that i know of. I went to check on her while she was taking a nap and she was having the seizure. We spent 4 days at the hospital. The only tests that came back abnormal was her EEG and her Vitamin D was low. The doctor said the EEG was abnormal because of her having the long seizure. Now she is on Phenobarbital. My concerns are the side effects of the medication. Has anyone else dealt with it? How long? We went to the neurologist last week and he said if she doesn't have another long seizure in the next two months then he will start to take her off the medication. She is already irritable from the medicine, what is the next two months going to do?? I don't want to sleep because i'm afraid she is going to have another seizure. I'm constantly checking her temp and kissing her forehead. I know there is nothing else i can do its driving me crazy. Thanks for listening to me vent...
