Mouth breathing when they are all blocked up sounds all kinds of weird though, it would be very easy to miss it. You said she was still happy and bouncy, so no harm done xx

How long do you have to wait until you see the specialist? Did she have several seizures or just one big one? I still can't imagine how freaky that would be.

With the family thing, I can totally understand not bothering with it if is only drama. TBH, after the initial satisfaction of my curiosity when I first talked to my father, I probably wouldn't have bothered to maintain any contact. It was very awkward. And really, I was a bit of a b1tch. Not outright but I found it really hard to talk to him. For the first couple of years he talked to DH and I was just present/mildly hostile itms. I wouldn't have blamed him if he had just walked away. Talking on the phone way less confronting and it has built up naturally over time. Not a typical father/daughter relationship - way too late for that - but we are on good terms. He is rough and rude (in a funny way) but a completely genuine type. I think it has meant a lot to him to be able to have a relationship now as it was a massive regret in his life. I think I am pretty lucky that it has gone so well though, you don't hear that many stories of it being a positive experience.
As for similarity, it is crazy. There is definitely a physical resemblance that I can even see in my kids. Plus a whole heap of personality traits and tastes that are similar.
