Hi, My daughter has a febrile convolsions nearly everytime she gets sick: whether it be a cold or cuts a tooth.she has seen a peadiatrician, we were told that she will be intelectually normal and will probably grow out of them by the time she is 6. She had her first convolsion in march 2003, 2 weeks before her first birthday. 3 on the same day 4 months later, and one 2 weeks before xmas and the next one 2 days before new years eve. each one has been a little different, but just as scary for her and us. She seems to get real clingy and sooky after each fit and it seems to take a few weeks for her behaviour to return to normal. I'm interested in finding out if anyone else has a child that has them and if they have grown out of them? And how you coped watching your child have them.
