Does this sound like a absence seizure?

My 6-month-old had three episodes on Friday where she'd be eating her puree, then completely zone out. She'd turn her head to the side and wouldn't respond to her name. Then, she'd snap out of it and be totally normal again. That freaked me out, so I took her to the hospital. We stayed overnight, and they told us to try and film an episode and also to try a firm touch to her shoulder to see if she'd react. When it happened again, she didn't react to my touch, and I couldn't get my phone out in time to film it. So, we were sent home for three days to try and catch one on camera. This morning, it happened again, just as I was already on my phone about to take a picture, so I managed to film it! These zoning-out episodes are happening multiple times a day. She's also suddenly been having eye issues in the last week, going cross-eyed multiple times a day. I don't know if the two things are related, but they both started suddenly, and I can't help but think something's going on. I'm really worried we might get brushed off at our follow-up appointment tomorrow, and I don't want something to be missed if it's an absence seizure. Is there anything else I can do?
