It is possible to have a seizure from drinking too

much water. I hope it is nothing serious. Best of

Another thing too..maybe don't leave him unattended in the bath if this problem

is occurring. If it is a seizure, he could have one in the bath and drown.

throwing his electrolytes out of whack and this causes serious issues

including death from cardiac arrythmias. If he over intakes on fluids

like this the potassium and sodium levels can drop quickly and cause

confusion and stomach cramping. But it takes a while to reverse

(certainly longer then 10 minutes) so I am confused as to what

happened here. Interesting story and I would be curious to hear what

others feel about this one.
