Zenster, I sent you an email if you have the time.
I can’t imagine the stress level in that family just now. They all will certainly go on my list for prayers, and the one at church too. Please keep us updated. Kids shouldn’t have to go through this.
Sending warm thoughts your way.
alohaaloha: My prayers are with you and your family.
Zenster: Yet another reason why your one of my favorite people on the boards. Good job, friend.
I"ll play a tune for you. I had a friend whose child had a seizure when young, and that turned out to be basically a one-off.
Here’s hoping the same good outcome for the kids!
Best wishes—
Positive Thoughts/Good Vibes/Prayers for the family.
By His stripes we are healed!
best wishes AlohaAloha. May everyone be better soon. You, your sister and the young ones shall be in my thoughts.
Sending prayers and positive healing thoughts to Ian and Noah. I also put them on our prayer chain.
Lord God, send healing and shower this family with Your mercy and love.
Lissla household will be praying.
No family should have to go through something like this.
Sending prayers and good vibes for Ian, Noah, mom and dad and Aloha Aloha.
My prayers and thoughts go out to your family, alohaaloha.
If Y’all don’t mind I think I will acctuly post my prayer here, not to step on what others feel/belive but these are mine.
Lord, I pray that you will be with this family in their time of need. I know that you will be looking out for them in whatever comes from this. I pray that you will confort this family and just hold them up, I pray that your will be done in this matter. Thank you Lord for being there with the family. In Jesus name I pray Amen.

All our best to your nephews and their folks, as well. Here’s hoping that things get better soon.
IANAD, but I am a paranoid parent; one thing I’ve learned that may make you feel a bit better:
Febrile seizures, brought on by fever (very often due to infection) in a very young child will often have no further repercussions on the health or well being of the child in question.
Granted, with a family medical history like that, this may be more serious, but if we’re talking about a high fever brought on by a bad ear infection, in a two year old, it may be nothing very serious at all.
Our best, all the same.
First, the father of an epileptic kid has to speak. Boy, those long, long seizures kids can go into can be scary! My daughter’s first lasted that long. They got shorter and shorter and now she just sorta phases out for a moment. They think they traced hers to an in-utero stroke, too. Turns out those things are pretty common. So are febrile seizures; used to have 'em myself with no longterm problems except I can’t remember much of kindergarten. I’m optimistic about both kids. The human brain is amazingly resillient.
But I’ll say a prayer, anyway. Jenny and her kids deserve better.
Good vibes and good thoughts to Alohaaloha and family, as well as a virtual basket of homebaked cookies 
Prayers said. Hope they all get better and get some rest. Please, keep us updated.

Many prayers and hugs…
Thank you ALL for your prayers, vibes, thoughts, hugs–they mean a lot to me and my family.
I wanted to update you on Ian: He had a great day yesterday (Thursday). After the sedation wore off from his MRI, they released him from Riley Children’s Hospital. They put him on an anti-seizure medication and he will, of course, have follow-up visits. The results of the MRI should be in today (Friday).
Little Noah continues to have his health challenges but our prayers continue to be answered and he is improving daily.
My sister, while exhausted, is in good spirits. Please continue to send her strength.
Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the well wishes.
AlohaAloha
Omorka, thank you for lighting a candle. It makes me angry that so many people blindly equate Paganism with Satanism when they have absolutely nothing in common. Your compassion is eloquent testimony towards that end.
green_bladder, your hopes count for just as much as the Pope’s prayers. Thanks for your kind thoughts, I know that Jenny’s family will be gladdened by them.
twickster, keep those good vibes coming. These kids aren’t out of the woods yet. I’ve asked Aloha Aloha to drop by the thread and give us an update on Ian later today.
WordMan, keep up the good thoughts. I’m really proud of our community’s response to this.
Aries28, these kids need all the love they can get right now. Your thoughts are appreciated.
DeVena, thanks for the prayers. They are not something I use personally but that matters not one whit. I just want these kids well again and any prayers for that is exactly what this family needs.
Magayuk, your wishes are most welcome here.
Ellen Cherry, thanks for the prayers. Keep up the good work.
Marconi & Schmeese, your card has been forwarded to Jenny’s family. That was very thoughtful of you.
Kn*ckers, healing thoughts and best wishes count as prayers in my book. I know a lot of people would argue with me, but that’s nothing new.
pugluvr, right about now, I’m hoping that Aloha Aloha understands the karma angle on this. In a fair universe, her prior work should have some effect. I’d sure like to believe it does, because all children deserve a break from the insanity around us. The first bowl of noodles is on me!
Vixenation, thanks for a family size portion of good vibes. It’s going to take some heaping helpings like yours to pull these kids through.
Blonde, thanks for the good Mommy thoughts, I know you have a couple of boys too. You’ve got to stop giving Texans such a good name. Who will there be left to mock?!?
The Surb, while I certainly appreciate your shared sentiments, I’m much more glad for your kind hopes in this matter.
Sylkyn, you are such a sweet friend. You touch more than my own heart with your dependable good nature.
Maureen, thanks for firing up some group spirit among your coworkers. That’s really splendid of you.
Baker, I agree, children shouldn’t have to go through these sort of complications. They should be out chasing butterflies and puppies. Your card has been forwarded to Jenny’s family and asking your entire church to pray for these kids is kindness itself. I have you to thank personally for meeting Aloha Aloha in the first place. I hope I get a chance to meet you someday as well, there’s a meal I’d like to cook for you and so many recipes for us to swap.
Khadaji, warm thought are just the ticket here and appreciated by all.
robgruver, thanks for the prayers. Please let me know if there is ever a way to return the favor. It would be a personal pleasure.
Archergal, keep up with the tunes. Music is medicine for the soul and heals so much more than many people expect.
Slainte, your screen name says it all. I’d be glad to toast your own health in person someday. Keep it up with the positive thinking.
Snoopyfan, if these are His stripes, I’m tempted to break Him back to buck private. I know you mean well and I wish there was some way to understand why it is that children have must bear such burdens when they are least able to.
Osip, thank you for the email and the kind thoughts. I’m glad you could share about your own change of view.
Scotti, your unlimited sweetness is a tonic right now. If only you could attend the Portland get together, I’d really like to meet you. Thank you so much for bringing your prayer chain to bear. If ever there was a time for it …
Lissla Lissar, keep it up with those family sized portions. There’s something about kids wanting to help other kids that sounds so right. Your prayers are appreciated.
Shirley, mebbe you might see your way clear to a group good vibe during one of those afternoon tea time book sessions. Thanks for your concern.
lilbtagna, your kind thoughts are just the ticket. Thanks.
ManDuh003, ain’t nothing wrong with praying out loud in this thread. I know that Jenny and her family will be reading your words soon. That was very sweet of you.
Skeezix, thanks for posting about febrile seizures. I’m sure all of us are hoping this is a one-off event. As usual, information is an unbeatable friend in these situations.
dropzone, more clarification is good. You are obviously speaking from first hand experience and your prayers are most welcome.
Cougarfang, those cookies are a great idea, likewise with the good vibes.
Moxmaiden, thanks for the prayers. Aloha Aloha should be checking in soon with an update on Ian.
Siemsi, hugs are always good and so are your prayers. Thanks.
Everybody, I cannot express my gratitude in words. Over thirty of you have seen fit to let a family of strangers know that people out there that they have never met are pulling for them nonetheless. Your prayers, good thoughts and vibes, well wishing, hugs and cookies are all just what the doctor ordered. I’ll freely speak for Aloha Aloha, and say that we both can’t thank you all enough. As an Aunt, I know she is absolutely fritterpated by this whole sequence of events. Your kindness is a balm upon her sore heart right now. All of you have my personal gratitude.
Warmest Regards,
Chris
Good thoughts, Zenster. Keep us updated, 'kay?
