Sorry, I didn't want to make it about me. I just wanted to say that I totally understand how scary they are and offer hugs. As a mother you feel so helpless watching it happen to your child.

X gets them from vaso-vagal reactions. When he hits his head and gets scared he does the silent cry. Holding his breath causes a drop in blood pressure and lack of oxygen to the brain. He passes out and seizes. The pedi said most kids will just pass out but the rare few will seize. He had an EEG last week and we are waiting to see a neurologist.

That is so frightening. I am so glad he's okay now.

[Dorothy Zbornak]

Dude, they are the worst. Sorry you guys have to deal with them too.

[bean47]

Terrifying I'm glad to hear he is okay.

[shevacc]

Oh no poor G! Big hugs to you, that's terrifying.

[kandrze1]

Oh geez, I'm so sorry! It's so scary when they happen. Emerson had one in February, but hasn't had one since.
I hope G is doing better today.

[fryjack2]

Oh man! I'm sorry! Seizures are so scary. You did a great job handling G's.

I hope that is his first and last one.

[Beener]

So scary! Glad he's ok and good job thinking quickly on your toes mama!

[skwcm80]

I'm so sorry that happened! I'm glad he's feeling better.

[careyalis]

That is terrifying! So glad things are better now!!

[katie]

That is scary, I hope everyone is feeling better.

[devotchka]

We don't have a monitor in Max's room anymore but this makes me want to put it back in. So glad he's ok.

Ok my pregnancy brain is remembering this now. You are so right...it's a very helpless feeling! Just awful. Do you have to take him to the ER when it happens or just monitor him at home? We've gotten conflicting advice over what to do if/when he has another.

I remember my sister was a breath holder. She would get so mad in tantrums she would hold her breath and then pass out. My poor mom.

[badgermom]

I'm so sorry you both went through that! How scary!

[charmediamsure]

That is terrifying. I'm so glad the firemen got there so quickly and that he is ok.

[Na]

That sounds so scary! Thank goodness you reacted quickly! I am so sorry and hope he doesn't have any others. Hugs mama.

[ruby412]

Aww I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Very scary.

[bebeetmoi]

I can't begin to imagine how scary that must have been:( So glad he is well and home.
