Sounds like your sister has Absent seizures (patite mal) I have had these type of seizures but they have gone away (so far) I don't really remember what happens to me when they happen so if you are in line or someone looks at you wierd when she is having one say what you want to say. MY DD told me she told people I was having a seizure and I would be okay in a minute. There is no reason for you to be embarassed of for your sister to be embarassed it is just a medical problem that can not be controled.
Make sure she stays hydrated that is the one thing that would make mine worse and stay as cool as possible. I hope you all have a great trip.
