Whereneverever Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 My seven year old has epilepsy. It's mostly well controlled. This morning she had a seizure that didn't stop on it's own and I had to call an ambulance. I gave her meds to stop it and she spent some time in the er. She was blue. All the way blue. And it took 6.5 mins to stop. My poor baby. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (((Hugs))) Oh, my dear friend, my heart aches for you and your sweet girl. :crying: You and she will be in my prayers. I hope she feels better quickly and this doesn't happen again! I am so sorry. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali in OR Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I am sorry. We've had the unstoppable seizure just once, when dd had a fever when she was 2. But we had some particularly bad days last summer after trying to wean her off one of her meds. We had a memorable "3 diastat day"--had never needed more than 1 in a given day before. Stressful! Worrisome! Bleah. Praying things stabilize again for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlessedMom Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 ((((((Hugs)))))) That must have been very scary for you & your precious daughter :( I am so sorry you had to go through such a heart wrenching experience.

speedmom4 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 :grouphug: This is one of my biggest fears. My ds has epilepsy as well. He has a Vagus Nerve Stimulator and is on two medications. His seizures are well controlled right now. This is a good reminder for me that epilepsy can be unpredictable. I'm so sorry your dd had to go through that. I can only imagine what you were going through. (((Hugs))) Elise in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama Geek Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 My dad started having seizures when I was in middle school and never got them under control and had to quit working. He had a pretty hard time of it. My brother started having them in his early teens and did get it under control with medicine and eventually was able to get off the medicine. He has been seizure free for many years now. There is hope and don't quit trying medicine until they get a combination that works. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
