THESE HORRIBLE SEIZURES.......

Jymani started school this week and he was only able to attend one day because he woke up this morning with a cough and runny nose.  We aren't sure of it is allergies, but we are not about to take the risk.  By afternoon he appeared to be feeling fine, all besides a draining nose.  Tonight Jymani and I decided to go outside and play football and he was really having a great time.  After awhile we sat down in the garage and had a snicker ice cream bar, so he could cool down and relax a bit before daddy started tossing the ball with him.  The kids came out to join us and moments later I heard Mikayla saying, "Buddy are you okay?"  Right then we knew something was wrong...Cortez ran to his side and I turned him towards me.  He was blue in the lips and purple in the face.  We tried talking him through it, we always feel like this helps in some way.  He tried talking to us but his words were jumbled.  He took a breath and then he started going into another one!!  Cortez grabbed him and held him and asked him to breath...Mikayla ran for the diastat.  He then starting coming out of this one.....seconds later he was right into another one!!  This all happened in a matter of about a minute and a half.  I was about to call 911 and then he came out of it with a deep breath and signs of great exhaustion.  He said, "Mommy, I'm tired"  He is now sleeping in my bed...It has been an hour since the seizure.  This is the postictal period.  He could sleep for hours........PLEASE LORD....END THESE SEIZURES....
