Shari & Rick,
I have worked with mentally retarded / disabled
children and adults for 8 years now. I have seen many siezures, of every
type. I have sat with kids in classrooms having grand mols as well as
adults in their homes. The first big one was scary to the point of being
surreal. However, I have learned over the years that most siezure
activity (storms in the brain, neural lightning storms) is basically
harmless, as long as the person is kept from hurting themselves with /
on objects in the room. I have cleared entire classrooms and sat on the
floor with students having grand mols. I have never seen them damaged,
as we knew how to help them. Shari, Rick is right. God gives grace. I
usually enter a "zone" of perfect, clear thinking in those times, when I
would otherwise turn to jelly. My son had a siezure last summer (due to
high fever and high outside temperature combo). The experiences I had
helped me through it. Of course it is different when it's your own son.
I felt panic inside that was somehow held at bay. No explanation except
to concur again with what Rick said about God's grace. Don't know if
this helps, but here it is anyway... WES
