Mother posts footage of sons seizures on Facebook and friend diagnoses life-threatening illness

A baby boy was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness using Facebook – after a friend spotted his rare condition which doctors had missed.

Little Evan Owens suffered from seizures but medics thought he was just holding his breath during tantrums.

In a desperate bid to get to the bottom of the worrying attacks, mother Cerys, 33, filmed one of the seizures and posted it onto her Facebook page.
