Can someone please help me my 6 year old. was having her medicine as normal before bed in a drink an she's split most of it. AV rang 111 an they've told me just to keep a eye on her it's the first time she's missed a dose. An she had her normal dose this morning. As anyone else done this or would u wake her up an take her the hospital. She's not long been diagnosed Am nearly having a panic attack over it am in bed with her now. Thanks

    My 10 year old missed her night dose at a sleepover. We found out a week later!

    keep an eye on her. Try not to panic too much. Maybe sleep in with her if you can.

      Forget to say my daughters not long diagnosed either and we had just reached her max dose that week. I was livid that her meds weren't given and panicked also. Epilepsy is scary for sure.

    I'm often forgetting my sons medicine. Before school last week we both couldn't remember whether or not I'd given him it. So I gave him half a dose. But on several occasions I've realised he's missed one. He's been fine. But he hasn't had any seizures for 4 years anyway.
