Now was the hit on the head caused by the seizures? In other words was he mildly seizing and that's what caused him to hit his head? My son had a seizure when he was six and after MONTHS of testing, (in which he had 3 more seizures) they found him to have benign rolandic epilepsy and put him on dilantin for 2 years. He has now been seizure free for years.

I remember thinking what you must be right now. You wan't me to wait HOW LONG?? No do it now. Sound familiar?? It's really not the end of the world even though you are probably feeling that way now.

Don't PANIC! yeah right, I know I did. But people who don't understand seizures PANIC. Do some research online and see that many children have it and most of the time it's the mild, TREATABLE one I mentioned above and goes away with the onset of puberty in most kids.

Good luck and stay as calm as you can, don't scare him. My son was convinced he was going to die because I was so worried about him. Believe me, no child should have to feel that way. He was more scared about my worrying than he was about the possibility of having another seizure.

Does he have sleeping probs? Nightmares, walking in his sleep, being tired even though he was in bed for the night, etc?
