Department of spanners in works: if a seizure could harm her brain (which is true) having attention won't stop it doing so, as attention will not stop the seizure happening in the first place. Indeed unless there is somebody actually with her (rather than say downstairs watching the telly), when the seizure starts they won't even be able to help her lie down in a safe place, remove dangerous objects and check she doesn't swallow her tongue and bash her head.
What does she need someone to do for her once she has had a seizure? Eg, calm her down, clean her up if it's that sort of seizure, make her a cup of tea?
This is one of the most conceptually difficult topics in DLA.
