"I went upstairs… I heard his voice and I knew something was really wrong," she said on her "Busy Philipps is Doing Her Best" podcast. "And he just said, ‘It’s Birdie, it’s Birdie. She’s had another seizure. The paramedics are on the phone.'"
The "Dawson’s Creek" alum paused the story for a moment, as she appeared emotional about the traumatizing situation and continued to explain what happened.
"The paramedics were on FaceTime, and she had just come out of the seizure… she was still in the post-aura state. They were like, hooking her up with stuff and on FaceTime," the mom of two said.

"Her friend who was with her, she was holding the phone… it was like this weird medium shot," Philipps described. "So you could see everything that was happening… it felt, it was just so weird."
"She was reaching toward the camera and just… calling out for me. Just saying, ‘Mama. Mama. Mama. Where are you? Mama.'"
Although Philipps and Silverstein’s daughter had previously experienced seizures, she reflected on the "chaotic" situation and said it was difficult to watch over the phone overseas.

"It was really awful seeing it on a screen, being in a different country across an ocean."
The "Cougar Town" actor went on to say that she was impressed by the way her daughter’s 17-year-old friend handled the medical emergency.
"The paramedics were there almost immediately, I guess. And Birdie's friend Sarah, shout out Sarah, literally, I don't even understand," Philipps added. "She's 17, but this girl managed to get one person to go tell the theater, to shut it the f--- down, she got two guys that they obviously didn't know that were sitting behind, because Birdie started choking and throwing up, to move Birdie gently to the ground and put her on her side. She got someone else to call the Swedish 911."
