Living with seizures in the family is rough at time. I've done it for over 36 years. I've gone though long phases of feeling on edge just waiting for the next one to come. Luckily my husband has been seizure free for almost 20 years. When he was having seizures he would have the type that you described. It sure would have been nice to be able to give him something before the aid car got there. But as far as I know all you can do is call 911 quickly and remove any thing around him that he can get hurt by.
