my mom had a mother/son pair and both of them had seizure disorders. Chiffon would have a rare grand mal seizure and salt would have small seizures, but more often. We never did find what was triggering Salts, but Chiffons was light triggered. Flashing lights, such as from a tv or those little lazer lights the kids play with, would send her into conculsions. All we could do would be to hold them while it was happening, to keep them from falling and hurting themselves and then after it was all over, to hold them to comfort them....it would take salt a good hour before he would be able to even walk afterwards. Maybe you can look to see if there is something triggering them in yours.... MArsha
