In a heartfelt and emotional update, Max Anstie’s wife shared a harrowing experience their family recently endured. Their young son, Finn, suffered a sudden seizure on Friday morning, leaving them terrified and unprepared for the ordeal. She recounted the agonizing ten minutes when Finn was unresponsive, describing it as the worst moment of her life. Through this deeply personal message, she hopes to raise awareness and encourage other parents to educate themselves on how to respond if their child ever experiences a seizure.
