[epilepsy] Need help understanding this...what do you think

 

My son Zack is 14 years old. This last year he has had 2 episodes where for 12 hours he gets diorientated and totally confused. He can not do simple math tell you his age, what year it is, or remember event that happened an hour before. This does not appear to effect his large motor skills. When he goes to bed the next morning he is fine again.
We saw an nerologist who had us do an EEG....and although she is very surprised he has Epilepsy and is concerned he is having more minor
seisures at other times. We are seeing her to discuss treatment next Firday. Has anyone else ever had seizures present this way or confusion lasting afterwards this long. I am feeling a bit overwelmed and would appreciate any thoughts or advice. Thanks! Rose
