Hard to say: I would definitely be concerned if he hasn't woken up in 2 days! i can't say if he's epileptic per se, but i hope he is seeing a neurologist. If they are having trouble coming up with a diagnosis, perhaps the person should be seen at an academic center in tampa or gainesville.

Unsure diagnosis: Epilepsy should not be diagnosed until other diagnoses have been ruled out, including neuro, cardiac, metabolic or toxic causes. I assume patient is in a hospital as he has been out for two days and has had an eeg, and if they are not, they should be. Epilepsy does not normally present with extended loss of consciousness and this can be a more ominous sign. If no answer, needs to see specialist.
