Freak accident caused my teen son to have seizures.

Has anyone else had any freak accidents that have caused their children to have seizures, and anger issues/emotional problems?

I went from having a perfectly healthy 15 year old boy....active in football, track, etc. To a son who cannot due kind of physical sports. One early evening her was playing football with the boys outside. He decided to jump up on one of those tall recycling containers to catch a ball. Unfortunately a friend made a stupid mistake and pulled it out from under him. His head hit the road, and immediatley started to seize. He had a 12 minute seizure that left him on medication for life, anger issues, and aggression. We have him in therapy, and just wonder if anyone else has ever been through something like this????
