Febrile Seizures

Does anyone else have a child who has febrile seizures? My son has had three (one at 7 mos, 10 mos and this one, he's 19 mos.) and the last one was this weekend. He actually stopped breathing and turned blue.....I had to perform rescue breathing on him. Luckily the paramedics arrived very quickly and by that time he was breathing again. Before this episode I had come to terms with the seizures and had learned how to handle them calmly. But now that he's stopped breathing I'm afraid it will happen next time as well and I'm a nervous wreck.
