Please... I don't care if you are a Believer or not, or whatever you may deem yourselves - my son James, an early teen, who is in New Orleans, had a seizure at school today. He's never had a history of anything medical related before. He's unresponsive still and has been put in ICU. I'm trying to get back there, but nothing is flying out of Colorado tonight. I'm probably grabbing the bus, which is a 30+ hour ride with layovers... ack!!
I am soliciting your prayers for his well being and recovery and that this is not anything majorly serious, nor will be. I thank you for putting forth your efforts, time & love. These are the most precious things you will be able to give in your lifetime (as well as you organ donors too). Thank you and yes, God Bless!!
I'd highly recommend that you keep your son away from all so-called "energy drinks" and Cola drinks because they're known to be spiked with ingredients that are causing such seizures in teenagers (especially aspartame!). Tell him to go "organic" immediately. And don't listen to anyone in white coats!

I agree with the advice here, Sam...you have the same distrust of the medical profession that I do, I see.
Though I'd start in the hospital for diagnostics...look into nutritional factors that can cause it, especially if he hasn't had any recent head trauma and seizures don't run in your family. The CT scan and MRI they'll run are good measures, though.
Again, my prayers are with you and him, Goldstone.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your son! Yes, those high energy drinks are very bad IF he takes them. I don't know too many who do unless they are in college. I will be checking in to hear some good news.
