Seizure?

So I mentioned before that Emily may or may not have had a seizure or two over the weekend.

She woke up twice, having wet the bed. This is completely out of character for Emily, she never wets the bed. She never even wet the bed when she was being potty trained at night. My first thought was that she had a UTI, but she has no other signs or symptoms. That, culminated with a "weird" expereince last week (I went up to tuck Katherine back in to bed and Emily, who was asleep, blocking both ears and shaking. I asked Emily what she was doing, figuring if she answered me coherently, she most likely was not having a seizure. She mubled something about trying to do something and that was that. At the time, I didn't really think anything of it but now, I am wondering.

I had to go get her from school today after the school nurse called and said that Emily was complaining of a headache and had a fever of 101. That probably has nothing to do with the whole seizure thing, except in the sense that children who aren't feeling well and have Epilepsy are more likely to have a seizure than when they are feeling well.

Anyway, I called her neurologist who was not in today but will be calling me back tomorrow.

Hopefully, he will have some answers.
