Seizure at Rhode Island Comic Con Keeps Boy From John Cena Photo — His Mom Is Asking for Help
Dylan got John Cena's autograph at Rhode Island Comic Con, but a seizure while waiting for the photo op sent him to the hospital instead.

A local mom is asking for help reaching John Cena after her son Dylan missed his photo opportunity with the WWE star at Rhode Island Comic Con on Sunday, Nov. 8, when a seizure struck while he waited for his time slot.
Dylan and his brother Liam spent the day at the convention at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence. Liam met William Zabka — Johnny Lawrence from "Cobra Kai" — and got his autograph and a photo with him. Dylan got Cena's autograph, too, but the photo op never happened.
Dylan had a seizure while waiting for his time slot to get in line for the photo. The first thing he said when he came out of it, his mom Nicole Lynn wrote, was: "Wait, I didn't get my picture with John Cena yet." Instead of the picture, he got an ambulance ride to the hospital.

Excitement, anxiety and lights trigger Dylan's seizures, his mom wrote. "This poor kid can't catch a break," she wrote. "It's so unfair because he can literally participate in nothing because of it."
Nicole posted publicly on Monday morning and asked anyone who knows John Cena — or can get her in touch with him — to reach out. Commenters have been tagging Cena and WWE, and the post is being shared widely.
