Intentionally vague use of “emergency situation” to encourage people to share. If you handle emergency situations as a profession, what’s a particularly interesting one.

My kid is Non-verbal autistic with epilepsy. One day he had an appointment with his neurologist. We are walking down the apartment stairs, mother in front I’m behind. He goes into a seizure. I catch him and hold his head between my legs so he doesn’t hit his head on the cement steps.
Suddenly my phone rings, it’s my sister. We are not no-contact but rarely talk so it must be important so I answer. Her first words as I’m holding a child actively seizing between my legs were “hey, so mom broke her neck”…
One of the ones that stand out to me was floating security in a music venue I spotted a patron alone about to have a seizure and was able to intervene before they fell over and got injured.
He has bad epilepsy so seizures are kinda a normal occurrence. He takes 4 medicines in morning, 1 mid day, 5 in the evening and 1 before bed but most days it’s about 25% chance of if hell have a seizure. Really only get concerned if it’s over 5 in a day…
Jeez that’s a rough day, hopefully both are doing better.
My mother is mostly recovered, she says it’s still stiff sometimes but that’s it.
Still working on the kid, he has like 7 doctors and takes a pharmacy of drugs per day but it’s only partially effective.
Glad to hear about your mom. Stay strong with the kid stuff, thats a heavy cross to bear.
Should also say my mother didn’t technically “break her neck”. Supposedly there are small spikes on your spine at the very top where it meets your skull to hold your skull in place. She broke one of those spikes.
He has a bunch of issues, liver issues, lactose intolerant, mostly deaf, little motor control etc. For example he’s about to turn 13 but can’t use bathroom alone and still watches shows like team umizoomie and blues clues.
