HELP-freaking out

oh my god I had the biggest freak out tonight.was bathing the kids and brooke like usual wouldnt sit down and all of a sudden started doing this shaking wobbling thing that looked like she was having a fit....I grabbed her straight up outta the bath and wrapped her in a towel and she was still doing it.all up for about 1min.It really freaked me out and I really did think she was having a fit...so rang our local hosp and they said I was welcome to come in or if it happend again to ph ambulance.but straight after doing the shaking thing she was completely back to normal and chatting and trying to get into stuff...was really weird...thing is Im wondering if it was just some real yuky taste in her mouth...she had gotten into rods beer earlier on and managed to take couple gulps before I got it of her and had done few little sick burps after that.....anyway an hr after it all happend and I was still feeling sick with worry(she was absolutely full of herself) she did a little burp again and did another little mini wobble shake thing...like she had brought up little bit of sick and tasted yuk.soooooooooooo should I stop stressing?????????I really want to believe that it was just the beer repeating on her or somthing but Im a total stresser.if she does it again tomorrow then Im absolutely getting her checked out.she had no high temp by the way.was 36.5.................please please let me know what you think.I doubt Im guna get much sleep tonight........

Hmmm Im not sure about the shaking for a 1 minute but I know Kobe and also another wee girl i look after often do a wee shaky thing that lasts for a few seconds that is a bit like they have had something sour and you know how you shake it off. we call it the wee wee shake cos they also used to do it when they peed and it was all wet etc.... But to be honest if your really worried about it then go to the doctor/after hours. Also when Addison was born she used to shake and I thought it was because she was cold but the nurse said no and that it wasnt normal (this was while we were still in the hospital) but they also said that because she stopped when we picked her up and sort of shook her out of it then it wasnt a fit.

Ah, sorry, didn't explain myself very well on that one - but probably because I didn't want to cause you any more panic. However, I was referring to one of the two basic types of seizures that people with epilepsy can experience - petit mal and grand mal. Almost literally (from French) "little hurt" and "big hurt" !

There are also a few different types of epilepsy too (I have Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy) but you needn't start worrying about that unless she shows any other signs. With my seizures, it's not obvious to anyone else that I'm having them, my eyes don't roll back, and I don't fit like you described, and they only last a second or two so there's quite a few different types. If she didn't go as stiff as a board with the shaking, then it's probably likely it wasn't a fit.

A doctor will be able to reassure you of any concerns you may have. Keep an eye on her over night to calm those nerves!

oh thanks Kirsten you made me feel way better cause she deff didnt go still as a board...and thanks bombshell that also made me relax a whole lot...will deff keep an eye on her tonight and I promise if she has another one Ill be going straight to the dr...in my pjs if I have too.thankyou everyone...so great to have you guys as suport......
