Helplessness

What can you do when your child needs you most yet there is nothing you can do but cry and feel completely helpless?

My son had a seizure in my arms today, while I sang him 'You are my sunshine', trying to calm him down after the doctor in the ER was looking him over & all he did was cry the whole time making his temperature go even higher.
I have never in my life felt more helpless.... even though it was 1-2 minutes to most people.... it felt like an eternity to me.
No parent should ever have to see their child go through that, see their little baby turn blue and not have any control over their body..... to feel nothing but helplessness when it comes to their child. It is the only memory of my son I wish I could erase.
