sounds like night terrors! freaky huh? it is the hardest thing, but they do outgrow it, from what i heard. maybe thats whats going on?

I read the original post- those all sound like a seizure to me. Especially the part where you said it looked like there was something in the mouth which was white- frothing at the mouth is common in seizures. Children can have 'lesser' seizures where they 'zone-out' rather than getting the vigorous convulsions of some seizures. These can progress (and often do) to more serious seizures in a fairly short amount of time. I would seriously advise you to get on top of this. And if I were you I would also install some kind of breathing alarm in his cot/bed where he sleeps. Seizures can be fatal and you just dont want to take that risk. Especially as you may not hear ANYTHING. You can buy those breathing things for a reasonable price as part of a baby monitor, I have seen these before. But please, please, take him to the doctors and get this confirmed and (if necessary) get him on treatment for it.

Sounds like fun-- that Liam- that sounds scarey- I can't imagine what that is- but I hope it is not a big deal.

mama lioness... Thanks for your concern! I am guessing you haven't read what has happened since the first occurance of this a year ago. We have been to doctors, neurologists, had EEGs, etc. They can't find ANYTHING and the neurologist is having me keep an eye on it, filling him in if anything happens. I share your concern, especially as Olivia was diagnosed with a seizure disorder last year and hers is the full out shaking type. I was the one to go to the doctors with the seizure diagnosis for Liam myself, the ER (twice), and his pediatrician didn't even mention the possibility. So we are trying to get it figured out!!! :) Thanks :)

Sorry :) No I had only read those two posts about it. I have been reading your blog the last few months so I wasnt aware. Its good that you've had all the tests, but it must be frustrating/scary that they havent been able to confirm anything. If you think they are seizures then trust your own judgement. You know your son better than anyone :). I really hope it gets worked out soon- or even better, resolves itself and never comes back ;) Best wishes.
