Prayers for My 16 Month Old Nephew Please

[Jess_K]

Hi... I hate to ask again, but you all were so great with my last thread about my DH and all that... I have another prayer request if I may.

My nephew Jonathan, who is 16 months old has had two seizures. The first one was pretty bad and they think it was because of a high fever. The second one happened last week or so and it was worse I guess. My sister is taking him to a neuroligist (sp?)to see if they can get more answers. He has to have a MRI and be put under for it. She's nervous and I'm nervous for her. Please keep her and Jonathan, in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks so much.

I'm sure she is nervous, but they need to find out the cause so they can help prevent future bouts. You are all in my prayers. Modern medicine is wonderful.

Your nephew will definitly be in my thoughts and prayers. It is so scary when your kids have seizures. One of my DD's started having seizures and we had no clue why, we had to take her in for tests and everything, they never did find out what they were from but as soon as we started doing filtered water they stopped.

Of course they'll be in my prayers. Never apologize for asking for prayer. It's one of the most important things we can do for one another. BTW, my son experienced seizures with fevers when he was an infant. The Furry Guy did, too. I hope it turns out to be something simple like theirs--just a matter of keeping fevers down.

Sending prayers your way.

As a nurse febrile seizures can be scary to a family if they have never happened before. I do pray that is all they are, they can be controlled with keeping fevers down.

My son had febrile seizures with a temperature of only 103 where most are higher around the 104+ temperatures.

Oh wow, how scary. I will most certainly pray for all of you.

I will keep him in my prayers. My son(he was just 2) had Febrile seizures last January. They are caused when the child's temp. goes very high in a very short period of time. As very scary as it is, it is the brain protecting itself. The unfortunate thing is once they have them, they will be prone to getting them. Doctor's at the hospital last year told me that once my son gets a fever of 99, to start treating him w/ Tylenol. They also said a child outgrows it around age 6 years old.
I hope this helps, and once again I will keep your family in my prayers.
