Answers:
Take a deep breath!.!.!.relax!. It is okay to let him fall asleep, just keep an eye on your brother and call your mom and/or his doctor for advice!. If your brother has a seizure while asleep, it is okay!.
1!. Make certain he is safely on the bed (entirely level surface)
2!. Loosen anything around his neck
3!. Don't hold him down, or put a spoon in his mouth
4!. Sit nearby, to support when he regains consciousness & awareness
If he does not wake after the seizure, or immediately goes into another seizure, call 911 for immediate assistance!. I wish him the very best!Www@Answer-Health@Com
