My BIL had a major seizure this morning.
The problem is, he fell over onto my sister as she was lying in bed. It took her almost an hour to work her way over to the phone. The paramedics had to get him off her. As she's in a rather frail state at the moment, this was NOT a good thing to have happen.

:scared:

1. Geez, I'm sorry to hear that.
Are they recovering okay?

4. He's in the hospital at least over night.
His BP was @ 220/??? and his heart was beating so fast they couldn't count it. As of an hour ago he still couldn't speak.

I can't imagine what kind of damage he did to his heart, let alone his brain (such as it is). (Okay, so I don't like him. I still don't wish him that kind of misery...)

My sister was okay when I saw her a few minutes ago- just bruised and sore.

5. She'll be okay.
He's gonna end up killing himself, and I don't mean in the distant future.

7. UPDATE
He's been admitted to the hospital because they've determined that his kidneys are failing. He's one sick puppy.
