The stare that Maddy did, I used to do when I was little. I would just zone out of nowhere, stop, and stare. My friends would have to nudge me out of it, and my teachers thought I was daydreaming. I would get in trouble for it, BTW. We found out I was having mild seizures. I don't know the cause, but I did grow out of them. Maddy is adorable, and I hope you find answers soon.

Dropping the piece in the game creates a mini-strobe light effect, which is known to trigger seizures. The dark piece skidding through the lighter colored bars of the frame produces a "flashing" effect.

I had an apprentice at my work that informed me of his absence epilepsy it was the first time I heard about it and it needs more recognition so that people know and can help or have more understanding for those people. I remember others talking badly about him because they didn‘t know and they thought he was just slow…

I'm so glad you caught these early. My son had seizures like this and I thought he was just zoning out. I feel so bad now especially when he did it during homework and I didn't know it was a seizure!😩

Maddy is a precious child. Am praying gor Maddison's healing and that you are blessed with great love and patience with this precious little angel.

It's sad when you see such a young child going through something like this . I pray she grows out of them. In Jesus Name Amen ❤

My daughter had infantile spasms and no medication was working. I'm grateful she was a surgical candidate. She had a hemispherectomy when she was around 18 months old and is now seizure free.

I had a boyfriend whose son had what he called petite mal seizures; he was 7 or 8 at the time. One time he was eating breakfast and had a spoonful of cereal halfway to his mouth and he zoned out like that…totally still for about 30 seconds. When he came out of it, he put the cereal back in the bowl and told his dad he needed to go lay down for a while. While he hadn’t moved a muscle on the outside, whatever was going on inside took a lot out of him.

I had no idea....I'm 80. To me, this would be so difficult to deal with. You really have to be alert to her "signs". Bless you and may strength and patience be with you. I hope your child gets better.

My heart goes out to you. My son started having seizures when he was 11 yrs old. All kinds, up to 9/day. 27 pills/day didn't work. Got him on CBD and no seizures in 8 years! Keep it in mind.

My dog would get seizures with certain sounds. Pulling out duct tape, crinkling or opening a chip bag, tapping a spoon against the pot while cooking, a loud truck driving by. It appears your baby had a reaction after the dropping of the chip “click click click” very fast. This may have also triggered my baby. I’m not a doctor but pay attention what happened right before. There my be a pattern with noise (along other things) there are some studies regarding noise seizures (even though some drs may not be too familiar. ) ps. I’m not a dr.

Such a beautiful little girl. Thank you for sharing her journey with us. Prayers to you and yours.

i think these videos are very educational, thank you.

My son has these his are absence seizures. No convulsions or falling just zones out. His pediatrician has him on a medicine that has actually been helping.

My son is 29 and still has these now. As long s you are supporting her and loving her she will continue to grow! Our kids may grow at a different pace but you will be so proud of her! My son is my hero! Your daughter will be the same!!!!! ❤❤❤❤ sending you so much love.

But I do this to! In primary there was sooooo many times where my brain would just stop and I have no idea but I would stare at something and have that exact same look. And the funny thing is that I don’t actually realise until my friend gets up and shakes me or the teacher starts shouting loudly. I honestly think that maybe I was daydreaming but I never knew that this was what seizures look like I thought it was when you start violently shaking and faint or something

I understand! My grandson has them too. Praying for these babies!

this is so heart breaking i suffer from those seizures as well!! sending prayers!!🙏🏻🙏🏻💗💗

I have many seizures a day. No matter the type of seizure, they are draining

Fifty years ago, I was a student teacher in a classroom of seventh graders with special needs. One day I noticed what I thought was seizure activity in one of our students. I mentioned to the head teacher that he should be checked by a doctor for epilepsy. It turned out he was having over 100 seizures per day. Life can be really scary for children, I was lucky to be of help.
