What could it be?

Yesterday i called Rileys doctors office with what i thought would be a simple answer, simple test with a simple solution.

When Riley wakes up in the morning or from naps (mainly naps is when i notice) she shakes. Nothing crazy, nothing violent just shakes a little. The best way i could desribe it would be as if she was really hungry and was shakey. She has been doing this for a couple of weeks now, so i decided to call and just ask about it.

They suggested that she brought in immediately to see the doctor. 101 questions later and evaluating her walk and talk, still no answer. The doctor was less considered after seeing her in person but still considered enough to schedule Riley an appointment with the neurologist. Seizures? Low blood pressure? Or just the way she wakes up? ....or could it be something else?

Looking at Rileys background they are considered that it might be siezure, but since nothing is 100% and can be completely labeled as one thing, she with have to go through testing with the neurologist, an EEG and possibly a sleep study.

Its hard not to worry and think the worse, but i am hoping its just a thing she does and she nothing to worry about.

Until then i am keeping a log of when it happens as well as activities done before hand, like eating and what she wait and how long before her nap she ate, how long her nap was and did i wake her up or did she wake up on her own.

Hopefully someone will be able to come up with an answer for me...and hopefully its one that i wanna hear
