My son is 5 years old and has been healthy, and has been developing at a normal rate. On mother's day at 2 am my brother heard a loud thud. He went upstairs and found my son on the floor having a seizure. There was vomit on the bed and my son was on the floor. It lasted 15 minutes. It was so scary. He was jerking very violently, and his eyes were rolling in the back of his head. He had an mri ,an eeg ,they did a spinal tap. Nothing was found. He did not have a temperature. It was horrible. I hope it never happens again. No one should have to see their child like that.

Elijah was 3 years old in January Last October, he started having seizures where his body just tensed up and he would slobber and his eyes fixed. Lasting only a minute. Then in November, I woke up at 3 am and he was having full blown seizure that lasted more than 15 minutes. His whole body jerked. He went to ER both times. He was put on Tegretol, 8 mls every 12 hours. He had a couple of small seizures until last week. He started having them again. Staring and fixed. He was airlifted to a hospital and spent Easter weekend there, from Saturday until Monday. The neurologist there changed his medications to Carbatrol 200 miligrams ER. (2 times a day.) One sign is that he sleeps late in the morning. He is usually up around 8:30 and the last couple of times it happened, he has slept till after 10am. He has had an EEG and an MRI, both were normal. Has also had a spinal tap. Normal too. Thanks for any help God.

My 16 month old daughter had been up for about 20 minutes one morning when she started staring off into space. At that point she was still "functional" in every other way. Then she stopped walking and just sat, so I carried her around with me. She started mildly shaking like she was cold or had a fever so I took her temperature and put at sweater on her. About 45 minutes of this (I thought she just had an upset stomach or something) we got in the car to head toward town. On the drive she started breathing very shallowly and would stop breathing for longer and longer periods of time. Her head lolled to the side and her tongue went from pushing spit out of her mouth in a rhythmic motion to just hanging out the side of her mouth and her eyes rolled back in her head. We called 911 and met them on the side of the freeway with everything set up and ready to go. By that point she wasn't breathing at ALL and was quite blue. They shot her full of anti-seizure medication and put a breathing mask on her. She didn't breathe on her own for 20 minutes and it took another shot of the anti-seizure medication in the ER to finally kick her out of the seizure and get her to start breathing again. All in all, the seizure lasted for over two hours and only stopped with medication. The EMTs said she would have died had we tried to get to the hospital on our own (and not met them on the side of the freeway). Very scary!! After the seizure she was drowsy from the drugs, but after that wore off she was quite 'normal' again. We pray this never happens again!

My grandson was playing then all of a sudden, he fell to the floor. His eyes were rolling and his body was jerking. He then stopped moving and went very stiff then stopped breathing. My daudhter-in-law then gave him mouth-to-mouth which revived him. He was rushed to hospital via ambulance afterwards.

My son is 16 years old. While at urgent care with our daughter for a broken wrist, he suddenly fell backward onto the floor. He hit his head on the floor, which sounded like a gun going off. As I cradled his head in my hand I started to check his pupils when I saw his eyes rolled up and to the left. He then began to foam at the mouth and his mouth was drawn to the left. After screaming for a doctor, I noticed he had started to convulse. His arms had drawn up into his chest his hands were disfigured and he had stopped breathing. His face and lips turned blue. The doctor was asking me questions about possible injuries which he had none. As I started to do CPR he began to breathe on his own. All tests came back normal and we are awaiting the neurologist appointment. I pray that no parent should ever see their child in that situation.

My son started having his first episode of seizure when he was nine years old in 2009 just when he is about to sleep at night and lasted for about 5 minutes. His limbs went stiff, eyes rolled to the back and lots of fluid came out of his mouth. He started crying when he regained consciousness but was not responsive to our questions or calling. We took him to the ER where the doctor told us that he would outgrow his seizures.

My eleven-year-old son is having sudden onset of what the pediatrician is calling "seizures" during physical activity where he remains active but has no memory of what happened and has headache and tired after the episode.
