On only the third day of school, Rachel had the scariest seizure of the year. Mainly it scared her friend Sophie, but it scared the rest of us too.

She had gotten permission to go to the rest room from her teacher, and when she hadn’t returned after a few minutes, the teacher sent her friend to check on her. When Sophie pushed the door open, it banged against Rachel, who was lying on the floor. Poor Sophie was afraid she was dead.

It seems that Rachel had a seizure in the bathroom, and uncharacteristically lost her muscle control and fell down. On the way down she must have hit her head and passed out, because she had a nasty bump. It was a scary reminder of all the things Rachel couldn’t do by herself anymore, like walk across streets. And apparently go to the school bathroom.
