Just sent a kiddo to ER w/ mom. Presented with numb and tingly R face and arm, floaters (green) in R eye, possibly a twitch/droop on R side of face. Don't know the child well enough to know what is normal. Hoping for an ocular migraine at best; or Bells Palsy... and praying for it not to be a neurological event.

I have been down this road before with kids and the outcome has not been good.

I will keep you posted

Hopefully part of the workup. I have worked with this family practice doc before and he was ordering tests at the ER from the office before they got there.

How scary, hoping for the best.

Green floaters? I have never heard of floaters in color before.

Hope everything is ok with this kiddo. Glad the PCP is on top of things!!!
