Thanks for sharing! I agree that is is horrifying to witness, especially when it is your child.
My son (who had two febrile seizures, the last one was a year ago), is now almost three, and I know what you mean---he does not get sick or feverish as often (now that he's older), but maybe 1-2 times a year now. However, those few fevers will still put me into ultra-hyper-alert mode and look at his lips to see if they're turning blue, make sure he's breathing, check on him every 10 minutes to see if he's too hot, etc. Sounds awful, I know, but hopefully when he's a teenager I won't be so worried about febrile seizures (and, I'm sure will be off to worrying about other things...the life of a parent, I guess).
Take care, and glad to hear your son is OK! I'm glad yo found this site; I couldn't believe there was not more information about febrile seizures (or Roseola, which is what my son ended up having after the first febrile seizure).
