I do not know where you live, but we live in Tulsa, and I work @ ST John Medical Center. There are some wonderful Pediatric Neurologist who can help you with these. Please, Please follow up with this. He does not need to suffer with these any time, especially growing up...Call Dr Pat Daley and see if you can get in to see him....Good Luck

Hi K..
I am not an expert, but this sounds very serious to me. If you are not content with the care and answers you got from your local clinic, do not hesitate to go somewhere else. You are your son's medical advocate, don't feel bad about being pushy to get him the best care possible. I see that some people gave you some ideas as to where to take him. AR Children's Hospital is also a good hospital. But I am sure there are many choices of clinics that are going to take this seriously.

Edited to add: Sorry just saw you posted an update before I wrote this. I'm glad you got an appointment. I hope you get some answers.

I think you need to find a good neurologists that can tell the ER doctors what to do when you child comes in. A hospital never checks properly for seizures. I have a brother that has grand mal seizures. He went off his meds and seized for about four hours in his sleep. There was no brain damage, thank goodness, but the ER doctors wouldn't test him for until about seven hours after the fact even though they knew he has a history of epilepsy. A good neurologist can sometimes meet you at the hospital to make sure your child gets proper care.

Make an appointment with his pediatrition and get a referral to a neurologist. If he is only having febrile seizures (doubtful) it wont hurt, but if he is doing something more, it may save his life. Good luck

Hey K.,

I am so sorry for all you and your little man have been through. My only advice is that you seek the guidance of a pediatric neurologist asap. I would ask my pediatrician/primary care physician for a referral immediately. And if asking nicely doesn't result in the referral, then I would politely strong arm them into the referral. If they say you are over worried, 1st time mom, or another episode needs to happen.... I would just reply... "I am only going to ask once more for the much needed referral, otherwise I would like in writing your refusal for the requested referral." Then you can decide to for go an appt without one or speak the neurologist and see if they can waive the referral if you presubmit his ER records. Also seek another doctor for referral... but I doubt you will need to do any of that, as most doctors give referrals for what is not their area of expertise, and I have not met one who would write a letter declining a referral. I hope you get him seen by the correct doctor soon. And I hope his diagnosis is mild and need for treatment little to none.
God Bless,

When a toddler has something like that happen I would say put that baby in the car and have someone drive you to St. Francis Children's Hospital. That would be a totally scary drive but he needs to see a specialist when it is happening. I think I would call your pediatrician and ask for a referral anyway. If the Doctor won't do it I would call St. Francis anyway and talk to them. At the very least they need to test him, diagnose him correctly, and get him on meds.

Here's a link to their web site:

Get thee to a neurologist.

You need to do a follow-up with a specialist in the city. You should also be seeing someone about your problems, as these could both be signs of a diet or environmental issue, and need to be addressed before they get worse.
