GeneralWhat to do if someone has a seizure

Do...

  • Protect the person from injury - (remove harmful objects from nearby)
  • Cushion their head
  • Look for an epilepsy identity card or identity jewellery
  • Aid breathing by gently placing them in the recovery position once the seizure has finished
  • Be calmly reassuring
  • Stay with the person until recovery is complete
recovery_position

Don't...

  • Restrain the person
  • Put anything in the person’s mouth
  • Try to move the person unless they are in danger
  • Give the person anything to eat or drink until they are fully recovered
  • Attempt to bring them round
Call for an ambulance if...
  • You know it is the person’s first seizure
  • The seizure continues for more than five minutes
  • One tonic-clonic seizure follows another without the person regaining consciousness between seizures
  • The person is injured during the seizure
  • You believe the person needs urgent medical attention

Go After Your Dreams <br /> <br />You're good, but you're going to be great. <br /> <br />You're the best, but you're going to get better. <br /> <br />Sometimes the paths we take are long and hard, but remember: those are always the ones that lead to the most beautiful views. <br /> <br />Challenges come along inevitably: how you respond to them determines who you are - deep down inside - and everything you're going to be. <br /> <br />Increase the chances of reaching your goals by working at them gradually. The very best you can do is all that is asked of you. <br /> <br />Realize that you are capable of working miracles of your own making. Remember that opportunities have a reason for knocking on your door, and the right ones are there for the taking. <br /> <br />You don't always have to win, but you do need to know what it takes to be a winner. <br /> <br />It's up to you to find the key that unlocks the door to a more fulfilling life. <br /> <br />Understand that increased difficulty brings you nearer to the truth of how to survive it - and get beyond it. <br /> <br />Cross your bridges. <br /> <br />Meet your challenges. <br /> <br />Reach out for your dreams, and bring them closer and closer to your heart. <br /> <br />Get rid of the "if only's" and get on with whatever you need to do to get things right. <br /> <br />Go after what you want in life, with all the blessings of all the people who care about you. And find out what making your wishes come true really feels like <br />
