Motherhood is SCARY sometimes!

I am writing this mainly for my sister-in-law because she decided to move away and have a long distance phone number. Now I can't call her and tell her everything that happens, but others might find this interesting too. So...we were at Campbell's tee ball game when I looked over my shoulder to see Ani with a panicked face and Corbin laying on the ground in convulsions. I ran over to him just in time to see his eyes roll back into his head and to watch another episode of seizures. Remember my brother had numerous seizures a day, so when Corbin started doing this thoughts of my brother started running through my head. Jared was the 3rd base coach, so I yelled his name over the crowd. I think he could see the fear in my eyes because I didn't have to say anything else. He came running and took care of the next minute like a super daddy. I don't really remember the sequence of events but there was more seizures/convulsions and lack of breathing. I started asking if I should call 911 when Corbin sat up and started tattling on Ani. For the next minute or two he would lose consciousness for a second, but then he was just fine. Corbin sat on my mom's lap for the rest of the game and appeared to have no lasting affects of his incidence. After I was confident that Corbin was alright I pulled Ani aside and learned that she had kicked him while playing. I don't know if it hurt or just scared him, but this proceeded him falling to ground. Talking to my mom and Jared I am getting the impression that this can happen when someone holds their breath to long or experiences a traumatic event. All I know is he better not do it again because it freaked me out!
