Hi Kim,

This may help

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childhood_absence_epilepsy

I am epileptic, (but much older than your daughter, but I dont have absense
epilepsy)..

So, cant tell you much about it. BUT, if you want to know about epilepsy,
feel free to ask questions.

I may or may not be able to help / answer your questions tho.is she taking
medication?
