I'm sorry you are dealing with this mommydearest. You might end up saving her life or someone else's. Please either take away her car or tell the police she is driving when she's not supposed to. Just think, if she injured or kills another person they will take her to court and sue her for everything she's got, and then some.

The reason I'm having seizures is because someone ran a red light and I suffered a severe head injury from the crash. You mentioned she is still driving and that makes really upset. Mommydearest Sorry your daughter is going through all this. Sorry to get so lengthy.yes, eyes were dialated.

Her eyes are blue and you can certainly tell that her eyes remained dialated for hours after the big one. After being taken by ambulance to the hospital.her eyes continued to be dialated and the stupid nurse said that it was what all young people have.that it was nothing. Her eyes were dialating in and out during the seizure. She had said that she felt faint before the seizure. She had not felt good that am and her stomach had been bothering her plus a few other symptoms.
