my heart sank...

I heard on the news John Travolta's son died today, apparently it is believed that he hit his head during a seizure while in the bathroom while the family was in the Bahamas. I read "Actor John Travolta's 16 year old son died today in the Bahamas" my heart sank, as it does for any parent/family who looses a child. I clicked the link that went into say that he died for an apparent seizure. My heart sank even farther. This happens all too much. Child with history of seizures, they don't even have to be life threating seizures, and then they are gone. I read a year or so ago about a 19 year old girl who was taking a bubble bath and had a seizure and her dorm roommate found her in the tub. They considered her a drowning victim not a victim of epilepsy. Terrible. My heart goes out to the Travolta family and and other family who is reminded of a similar loss of their child or loved one. It happens all too much. If nothing else I hope this bring knowledge to what can be very scary reality to all seizure sufferers.
Reminds me of the seizure Sophia had while sitting on the potty. I can't help but wonder if I hadn't been there to hold her up what could have happened. Makes me worry about the independence that she will have the older she gets.
Don't mean to be a downer...
