Seizures

5 of our 7 children have had seizures
all of different type, origin, severity, length

the scariest incidents I have ever witnessed
the most helpless and hopeless feelings I have ever had
the inability to do anything
the fear of the unknown

taking control over the body
posessing a degree of uncontrollability

watching the strongest of storms
sweeping over your childs body
and taking control of every inch
forcing vivid rapid destructive thrashing
jerking pulling about
giving no chance for breath
the body gives up the fight
and the seizure takes over

but the childs body is strong
the storm has blown over
and left it's damage behind
able to re-build only to be destroyed again soon
not only destroying the physical but the emotional
seizure turmoil is exhausting
