Seizures, how dangerous are they?

My son just had 4 seizures today and was taken away bu ambulance, had his last seizure while being takin away in the ambulance and he is in the hospital right now, he started having these seizures as a result of a beating and knocked unconsious. Is he going to be OK or is he eventually going to die as a result of his seizures? I'm so afraid that I might find out that he died because he hit his head on the corner of a table or something. Someone please help and let me know that there is hope.

Okay first off, you should be with your son and not on here. Secondly, no one in their right mind should comment on your sons health, prognosis, etc on here.
For crying out loud, go to the hospital, be with him and ask the doctors.

They can be very dangerous if you're driving, or operating heavy equipment.

seizures as a result of trauma are often indicative of swelling in the head/brain- they can mean nothing but they could also change some things within the brain
just bc he is having these seizures doesnt mean he will always have them
i am sure that someone at the hospital can give u more info-
