Are These Seizures?

It was a year ago that I began having small seizures more frequently and so I started on regular medication. Learning to tell what is a seizure and what isn't is still kind of hard for Dad, Mom and me so Mom took these videos to help find out if it is seizures or not. The first one is more of weird eye movements I was making after going for a trike ride. Sorry for the rough look but I had a nosebleed coming home from school today, the scar on my nose is from a fall after a seizure at school a couple of weeks ago and then during the trike ride tonight I got my foot caught underneath the trike and it HURT so I was crying before this video was taken. Also, on review of the video we've decided...next time possible seizure happening I need to remove the sucker from my mouth!

The second video is when I was falling asleep on the couch with Mom. I've started to do this type of thing more often as I fall asleep. My head always kind of jerks to the left like I'm trying to look over my shoulder. Usually it is a little more of a jerking motion that goes farther to the side. In this video, it is at the beginning video that we are wondering if I had a seizure. Then if you watch really close when I have my hands over my face, you can see my left eye through my mittens and it looks like it is way up in my head. And because I know you are wondering...what's with the ladybug socks on my hands...it keeps me from pulling my hair out as I fall asleep. Don't laugh...it really works and I like them!
