Hi Wren,

This sounds like possibly the gentleman may have had a stroke earlier in his life and this sometimes can lead to sz. I saw it happen with my grandmother who had mini strokes and then within time alzhemiers set in.

You are a very kind hearted person helping the lady out. Over the yrs. that I've had epilepsy many people just don't know what to do if someone has a sz. that's why I've made it a point to teach students and staff at school about epilepsy and what to do if someone has a sz.

I will never forget a few yrs. ago I went to see a new family Dr. and I had a sz. and he then called an ambulance. I asked him why he did that and he told me that he didn't know what to do if a person had a sz. I reported this matter to the administrators of the Drs. office and they were not to happy.

This world needs to wake up and realize not to keep so quiet about epilepsy so others can learn what to do and not be afraid.

Here's wishing you only the best and May God Bless You!

Sue
