I am still in panic and shock. I was lucky that it all happened in a walk in clinc while waiting to see doctor. I was fraystrated to hear all the doctors telling us that this was common and nothing much to worry about? His seizure lasted 3 min but was unconscious for an hour. His fever broke the next day while still in hospital. And thank God he hasn't and didn't have another one. He seems alot better now fever is gone , he had an infection in both ears n throat. The antibiotics seem to be working. Our doctor says that there's only a slight chance if this happening again? So is ther anyone out who's baby only had this episode once ? God bless all of your babies and strength to all the parents who are going through ! I will never be the same again. S,

Thank you for sharing your stories. I feel so much better after reading all of them, knowing that I am not alone in this battle. My girl is 16 months old and she had febrile seizure 2 times. The doc advised to her to a EEG scan this week. I am scared of what I might found out. I blame myself for not taking care of her properly when she had fever, I know I shouldn't be thinking this, but I just couldn't help it. Thank you for listening. Hello everyone.

My little boy had his first febrile seizure at the age of 14 months. It lasted about 10 minutes and he came out of it on his own. I am a pediatric ICU nurse so I knew what it was as it occured but that did not make it any less frightening. We went ot the ER where he was diagnosed with an ear infection. He got tubes ~1week later and was fine for a year then had a second that lasted again about 10 minutes. This one was more focal- meaning only to one side. That was chalked up to an unknown virus. His temp lasted only about 2 days. After that one I requested an EEG- which came back abnormal. I found out after that since it was done less than 5 days after the seizure, that might be why. We had an MRI to be sure and it was normal. Then a month later he had 2 febrile seizres 8 hours apart. With that we spent the night in the hospital and he was diagnosed with viral tonsilitis. I elected after that to have his tubes replaced since his first set was working their way out. With all of his seizures, he has had a temp greater than 102 and he has had Tylenol and Motrin on board. This proves that there is not much to do prevent them. I do carry a Diastat but have never had to use one- thank God. It has now been a year seizure free. I just used lots of Purell after being out in public and pray! I have seen several children come through the PICU with febrile seizures but it usually because outlying adult hospitals have freaked out and overloaded the child with seizure meds that decrease the respiratory drive. My boy is know 3 1/2 and I pray we have seen our last one. I will pray for all of you too! I am knocking on wood as I write this but I wanted to offer some encouragement.

My husband and I found our 11 month old daughter in her car seat, her body was limp, her lips were blue and her eyes were rolled back. We took her out and held her up to see if she would respond and nothing so we started cpr. we thought maybe she was choking, all I know is I thought I lost my baby girl and then with my second breath she gasped and tryed breathing but she still wasn't that responsive. At the hospital they checked her and she had a fever so they then told us she probably had a febrile seizure. they did a ct scan and chest x-ray and all was normal. we are going to bring her to get an eeg but all the doctors keep telling us that febrile seizure are very common and they usually only happen once. But as i am reading all your story's I am seeing that this doesn't seem to be the case. I am so afraid it will happen again and perhaps i will be at work and unable to be their for her. the doctors also reassured us that she would have started breathing on her own even without the cpr. Did anyone experience their child not breathing during the seizure or after and the child started to breath on their own? i am so glad to hear that all your kids are fine.

She had her first febrile seizure when she was 17 months. She fell asleep on her dad and all of a sudden she was gasping for air. We thought she was choking. We started turning her upside down, hitting her on her back, calling out her name. We called 911 cause she just seemed stiff and her lips were purple. When we got to the hospital we explained what had happened. They transfered us to a children's hospital for observation. The next day while we were there, I requested her temperature be checked because she felt extremely warm to me. They checked it and said it was normal. I kept telling my husband, how can it be normal she is hot. I layed her on my lap and she started to shake. My husband went and got the nurse. They layed her down on the bed and were walking around so calm. While my husband was yelling is she breathing. It lasted a few minutes. They did all kinds of test and all were normal. Was seen by a team of neurologist while there and they explained to us what febrile seizures were. She had 3 on the same day 4 months later. They lasted about 2 minutes each. So proud of my husband who took care of the situation because I was out of town. 3 months later she had another 3. Had to cancel her 2nd birthday party because that was on her birthday. After that we took her for an EEG - Normal. Doctor gave us Diastat to give her with her first seizure because she gets them in clusters. 1 year 5 months went by without nothing. We were so happy. On Nov.15, 08 she had a very mild one, less than 2 minutes. January 11 she had a 12 minute seizure. It had been so long, that I had forgotten about the Diastat, never crossed my mind. 911 was called and she was kept overnight for observation. Viral Infection. 2 days later took her to her primary doctor and she had strep throat. After reading the stories before me I should be thankful that they only have lasted as long as they have. But, believe me it is the worst thing that I have ever experienced. I found out after the first seizure that I used to get them and I was about 3 1/2 when I had my last one. I just couldn't understand why after this last one, I was having so much anxiety. I constantly check her temperature and she now sleeps with us. I wake up during the night and touch her forehead and if I'm not sure, I check it with the thermometer. I just feel like I'm constantly worring. My husband is the more layed back and says that she's going to have them until she outgrows them. Something we have to deal with, but it's so hard for me. Reading all the articles really made me feel more at ease because I thought I was loosing it with the over doing of checking her. Thank You All So Much For Writing Your Stories.

And, then last Sunday around 7in the monring, he had another one (i had given him Motrin at 6:30am)- and from the time he seemed to be dazed....to throwing up....to seizing on just his left side....to dazed again....so seizing again- it was about 45 minutes,(his temp during this time was 98, taken from his ear) and then the paramedics gave him valuim rectally and that pretty much did the trick----- once we got to Children's Hospital, in Pittsburgh (we live only 5 mintues away)- they wanted to admitt him and do tests- they did a spinal tap to rule out menengitis, ect.... a CT, EEG(or is it EKG)- and an MRI, all finding nothing- he was FINE! he had temporary paralysis on his right side (which was SO scary) due to the seizure, it all is back to normal now, though- THANK GOD!! they kept him for 2 nights, because he did then spike a temp of 102 and 103, with NO seizure, since he was on anti-seiz med- so that was good- the ped nurologists at Children's in pgh, are amazing, and since the seizure was one-sided and lasted so long, they just wanted to make sure all was good- they still considered this seizure febrile, stating we could have missed the fever, plus, he eventually got a fever, and they do believe he will grow out of this- but, since he has had so many in only 10 months, they did recommend putting him on Keppra- which, so far so good (it has only been 5 days)- but i have read the side effects can be horrible, so we are holding our breath, crossing our fingers and saying ALOT of prayers! we were also told, along they way, that these seizure, where "no big deal- just scray to the parents"- but for any of us who have gone through this, it is so horrrible, you can imagine anything worse....i am sorry for each and every family and child that has to go through this- but, I am hopefull that our kids will outgrow this, and thankfull it isnt TOO serious or life-threatening..... I was wondering if anyone with a child so young (17 mos) has been put on Keppra and how it has worked- i have read and read about keppra, and they have only done studies on kids as young as 4, which scares me....but, i guess i have to trust medicine and these brilliant doctors who want to help my son.... I will keep you all in my prayers...

we were also told, along they way, that these seizure, where “no big deal- just scray to the parents”- but for any of us who have gone through this, it is so horrrible, you can imagine anything worse….i am sorry for each and every family and child that has to go through this- but, I am hopefull that our kids will outgrow this, and thankfull it isnt TOO serious or life-threatening…..
I was wondering if anyone with a child so young (17 mos) has been put on Keppra and how it has worked- i have read and read about keppra, and they have only done studies on kids as young as 4, which scares me….but, i guess i have to trust medicine and these brilliant doctors who want to help my son….
I will keep you all in my prayers…
