The first sign is weakness after about 4 hours and the start of a fever. If he has a febrile siezure this does not occur. He can have multiple seizure the most was 3 in a day with this. He has had the fever run upto seven days and had a seizure at the end of the seven days that seem to jump start his system again so he awoke a few hours later, fever broke but was completly paralylized on one side. It took 3-6 months to regain full use of that side. He does not regain conscuosness during the fever. Sorry for the bad spelling. Anyone herd of this. The children's hospitial in our area has never seen this before. My son occasionally has seizures that produce hemiplegia on one side of the body as if he had a stroke.
