I turned the board off for a quick adjustment but forgot to turn it back on.... :doh:

u having a week of mondays?:D

Actually - last night we had a decade of Mondays. My son spiked a fever and then had a siezure. He's OK, we had him at the hospital til late last night and back to the doctor's today. We just need to watch him...

Second scariest thing I've seen...

Bummer John....hope he is getting better.....and you and your wife are as well......that IS scary.......:eek:

Best wishes for all of you!

Long week today John? ;)

Seriously... I hope your son is doing better!

Regards,
Rob

BTW:
Dare I ask what the first was???

sorry boss ....hope he;'s doin better......an u too.

He's doing a lot better - thanks. It was just EXTREMELY scary seeing him have that siezure. I won't go into any details but it was simply extremely scary.

The literature the docs gave us says that it happens to 1 in 25 kids. Out of the few that have it, a third can can have additional seizures so we really need to keep an eye on him.

Have any of you experienced this with your kids?

Hope things improve John, not fun running to the hospital with kids, been in my share of ER's over the years.

Hope he gets better quickly John. Probably scarier to watch it happen to him than if it happened to yourself!

John, have niece with epilepsy and she takes medication and seems to be growing out of it.

Have a friend with a son who has severe epilepsy.

Hope Liam had it as a result of the fever.

:eek: That IS scary John.Ya seem so helpless seeing your child go thru something like that. My kids have had High enough fevers in the past where we had to get them in a room temperature bath to cool them down. never a siezure though thank God. Keep a good eye on him, I'm sure he'll be ok.

John, it could be related to the fever. I know of at least two kids who had a seizure as a result of a high fever and haven't had one in years.

Glad all is ok John. With kids there's never a dull moment eh.

John, all the best to you and your family. Hopefully Liam will be just fine! Thoughts are with you, I cannot even imagine what you went through?

My Nephew just went through the same thing recently seizures from fevers usally are not a type of Epilepsy but need to be watched. My daughter developed Epilepsy very young she had about four seizures did all the tests and was on meds for about 5 years. After further testing she was weaned off the meds and has had no problems as her brain developed and grew, the Epilepsy went away and has been sezure free for close to ten years. The Doctor said that kids can grow out of this and seems to be the case. Yes John kids do scare the hell out of you, hope everything is fine with Liam.

Thanks everyone :btu: - it was scary and he is doing a lot better... The docs said that it was most likely fever related and not an indicator of something else...

Personally, I think I could much better handle him breaking a leg than what I saw that night.
