allergic reaction to fried chicken, doctors believe.
The two-year-old tot - who was rushed to Southwest Mississippi Regional
Medical Center in Kentwood, Louisiana, on Sunday after suffering
a suspected seizure and going into a "vague and unresponsive state" - had
eaten the food from a nearby takeaway establishment an hour before falling
ill.
While he was at the medical center, doctors performed a variety of tests on
Jayden in a bid to discover what had caused the terrifying reaction.
A statement posted on Britney's website yesterday (11.11.08) read: "Doctors
concluded he had a reaction to something he ingested."
Jayden has now been discharged from hospital after being treated.
Meanwhile, Mark Vincent Kaplan - the attorney for Kevin Federline, Britney's
ex-husband and primary carer of Jayden and the couple's other son,
three-year-old Sean Preston - revealed Kevin was impressed with the way
26-year-old Britney had dealt with the situation.

Kaplan said: "I think that whatever it is, a food allergy or some other
case, we don't know yet. We're pleased that someone was aware enough to see
that he was having some sort of reaction and do what was necessary to make
sure there were no chances taken and got Jayden to the appropriate facility
and got the appropriate evaluation to be timely.
"I anticipate that Kevin and Britney as concerned parents will exchange
information and satisfy themselves that what happened was a freak occurrence
and do what they have to do to make sure that it doesn't happen again."
