Typical Seizure

Eventually we saw Rachel have seizures. Quite a lot of them, actually — she was having 1-2 a day by the time we took her to doctors. The typical seizure would last 30-60 seconds. She would generally keep doing whatever she was doing, but start making automatic motions such as lip-smacking or touching her thumbs to her fingertips. Her eyes would get red, like she was going to cry. She didn’t respond to anything we said to her. Afterwards she would be quite disoriented. Even after she would start responding to questions, she would later have no memory of the conversation. Sometimes she would get headaches.
