Seizures! help! scared!?
I know this is a scary situation. My friend and I both have epilepsy so I've been though this and you're not alone. First, I think it's important to know what to do in case she does have another seizure. Move any objects out of her way, turn her on her side to help her breathe, don't try to restrain her, and DON'T put anything in her mouth. Just knowing what to do so that you're prepared should help some. The medicine that she's on should prevent another seizure, but if it doesn't the doctors will keep trying until they find the right combination. It would be good to talk to your dad about how you're feeling. If you can't talk to him, is there a sibling or aunt available? And of course when you're mom's feeling up to it, discuss what happened. She must be feeling scared too! Try to be brave for her. If you're having trouble relaxing, I find a nice warm cup of tea can be good :)
