Do Persistent Seizures Need Immediate Medical Attention?

My grandson, has been suffering from seizures for months. He have not been diagnoised with any type of disease but his current doctor has been saying that she is trying to get him into a specialist. This has been for several months. He is having seizures some time in the double digits per day. He can go weeks without having one and then when they return he has them back to back. As a matter of fact he is currently having one. We are at wits end. I suggested to my daughter that she need to take him to someone else who will take the problem more serious. They have moved his scheduled appointment with a neurologist from December to sometime later this month. He is having a second seizure during the time I have stated this text and now. Do I need to take him into the hospital or let him to continue suffer until his appointment later this month. YYYY@YYYY
