More seizures on 5/31.. This was the 3rd seizure by 1am. tonic seizures normally only last 20 seconds or less. Heather Riley has Lennox Gastaut syndrome a severe epilepsy syndrome that causes multiple seizure types that are hard to control.

  • oh, ok, sorry for my comment then, but now i am sincerely confused about the reason why she should not be having them...

  • @IssyBearXLayneeboo It is the type of seizures that she is having that was concerning. She had a major brain surgery that should have stopped seizures like this from happening.

  • My daughter has Tonic seizures and she stops breathing which is very nerve-racking, but they look nothing like this....my daughter goes as stiff as a plank & her eyes roll right into the back of her head. We are now starting to have cluster seizures which is not good because like I said she stops breathing and have been rushed to hospital many times.

  • @potaka79 These are prolonged which is what causes a "vibratory" component to them. normally hers only last a few seconds, or come in clusters of only a few seconds. Heather stops breathing too. We have oxygen, bi pap and an ambu bag at home to try and avoid the ER. I watched your video's your little girl is adorable.

  • I'm so sorry. I sorta feel for you as I myself have seizures. Do you know yet what is causing her seizures to worsen? I hope and pray for answers and that she gets better.

  • @mustang19898  She has Lennox Gastaut Syndrome.

  • Thats so sad :(

  • U can't do nothin for it. All you can do is wait. I have absence seizures

  • Why would you film this and put it on YouTube??? I would be helping her! Do you do this every time she has one? Put the dumb ass vajra down and help her convert her! Damn I'm only 12 your probally 40. It's so sad to see you just film her and not comfort her at all put the camra down! She probally dosnt want you to film her!!

  • @MAMA2TRES touching, and speaking whilst somebody is having a seizure, usually makes it a lost worse.. its kind of scary.

  • this is a tonic clonic seizure isnt?

  • it makes me wanna cry seeing this kind of stuff... kids shouldnt go through this.. EVER

  • If you were to touch her or offer verbal support and care would it intensify the seizure? Or did you not interact for the sake of the video? I don't think I could refrain from touching my child when they were in need of my energy unless it made them worse. If you did it for the video..thank you for being that strong...I couldn't have. :0)

  • poor kid
