First half, we had a kid today (Grade School) who was on the bench go into a diabetic seizure. The coach requests a time out and then runs to this kid who was sitting there on the bench holding his own neck. To those who have not witnessed many seizures, it was a sobering sight. After a couple min, he came out of it and his mom cam over and attended to him. Kid seemed back to normal and he and his mom left the gym. At half time, he rejoined his team and participated in warm ups. I asked the coach if he was ok and he said it's happened before and he should be fine now.
The kid played the 2nd half and seemed fine but I had 2nd thoughts. Should I have let him play? I witnessed this kid basically locked up. I kept my eye on him and several times asked him if he was ok if I had the opportunity.
Is a seizure considered "unconscious"? Would you have let him play?
