Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that she is already an epileptic , so most probably he had seizures on these days, and had urination, as she also had a seizure in the day time also.
Probably due to weight gain or anxiety, or to some drugs which have seizures as a side effect.
She may need to have a hike in dose of the anti epileptic. So i advise you to consult a neurologist for diagnosis and change in dose or the drug accordingly.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and Protein rich foods to increase the resistance.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
