Sleep issues: Son chants 'hi' during the night

Hello,
Thank you Colleen for adding this to the seizure thread.
Does your son have Partial (Focal) seizures? Does he ever have Tonic Clonic or Myoclonic seizures?
This is a long shot but I was wondering if this behavior could have anything to do with his medication. Have you considered a medication change?
Has he seen a sleep specialist?
I was wondering if it could be a sleep disorder similar to sleep talking.
Is you son currently having active seizures?
A second Neurological opinion might be a good idea.
I'm familiar with Quadriplegia. What level is your sons Spinal Cord Injury? My Dad’s level was C-5 complete.
Take care,
Jake

Hi Jake. Thanks for your reply. It COULD have something to do with his meds. We've been toying with the timing of some of them and adding things like Melatonin. Nothing we've done so far has had a lasting effect. He hasn't had a seizure for about 10 years (that we know of), and has been on the same seizure meds for about 15 years. He doesn't have a spinal cord injury (although does have severe scoliosis which was corrected surgically several years ago); his problems are all from brain malformation. Sleep talking is def a possibility. I think we WILL seek out a second opinion from another neurologist and see what he thinks about a sleep study. Thanks again.
