seizures?

Eve may have had two absence seizures today.  The following was written by her school aide in the communication book:

"On the bus ride to school, Eve was smiling but only the let side of her face was.  [The] right side completely drooped, more so than usual.  At school she had an 'episode' where I seemed to lose her.  Staring off, no blinking, unable to get her attention.  The first time lasted about 15 seconds, the second one during snack, lasted longer, about 30 seconds.  [I] called her name, gently tapping her shoulders, no blinking no response. She seemed confused immediately after, but continued on with her snack.  Very quiet, but no other episodes after that."

We have an appointment with Eve's neurologist in 2 weeks, so we'll mention this to him.  We'll see what he says.
