Post from Melodie's Facebook Fan Page, too important not to share:

This is not Melodie, I found the video on youtube. This little girl is having a complex partial seizure, the kind that Melodie has. Melodie's seizure start out like that, but quickly progress into catatonic state. She can't speak, she can't move, she loses control of her muscles and sometimes stops breathing. I have never been able to film it (it would be helpful for the neurologist to see) because they progress very quickly into emergency situation, at which point I have to administer emergency medication and call 911. Sometimes, if we are lucky, she comes out of it after a few seconds... She then falls asleep for hours and battles a major headache for days.
