2 years ago when my daughter had a seizure... scared the hell out of me...

@SW-User does she have epilepsy? I have a cousin I take care of with that. It's scary when it happens & she hit hard on the floor. She's broken her foot in the past

@Harlow she has petimal seizures (small ones, she would just stare... like she was daydreaming) but then that day is where she fell unconscious shaking, scared me really bad... now she's been diagnosed with epilepsy. Sorry for your cousin...

@SW-User my cousin has petimals & grand mal seizures. She's was diagnosed with epilepsy years ago when she was 12. She used to have 50 seizures in one day. Now it's down to 2-3 grand mals a month. And she has petimals in the morning when she wakes up, sometimes in her sleep. But her pill helps

That's tough... my daughter was diagnosed with petimals at 9 years old she would get them every few minutes then when she started her meds they were under control... then 5 years later .... boom, grandmal .... she gets them every few months and I constantly worry.

@SW-User aw yeah, those grand mals can be scary when it makes them fall hard, and come out of nowhere. I wish you & your daughter well. 🙂
