Seizure helplessness

Buddy, the older of our two dogs, has what I think was a seizure this morning. I got him down on his and just tried to comfort him until it passed. He's only had one other one back in Montreal in the spring.  The last time I saw my son Anthony alive was via a video call with my daughter Jennifer. Anthony was his side on the floor next to his bed. It was a difficult one and the medics were just arriving while Jennifer was trying to calm him.  Jennifer and her two oldest daughters, Paige and Anasia, were used to helping Anthony through the seizures that were becoming more frequent. This seizure seems to take a lot out of Anthony as Jennifer told me that he stayed close to home for the next couple of weeks until he passed in the night due to the seizure. I am so proud of how they took care of Anthony the last three years as he battled the brain tumor. He died on August 7th.
