I need information from those that may have firsthand knowledge
...of seizures in new borns. My oldest sister had her first baby Saturday at about 8:30 PM. The baby appeared to be normal and healthy. Sunday morning at about 9:30 AM the baby began to have seizures and was put into the intensive care unit. They have the baby medicated via intravenous tube to prevent seizures. They have given the baby a CAT Scan and it did not show any abnormalities. They have taken some biopsies to test for infections...but it will take a few days for the cultures to grow. One other piece of information...the baby was 7 days overdue and labor had to be induced.
Has anyone of you had experience or knowledge of what the problem may be and what the prognosis may be?
Before you ask...my sister does not smoke...drink...has never used drugs in her life or suffered an STD. Also before you suggest it I have done a search on the internet...but first hand experience/knowledge is what I am seeking.
