I agree with you and your post here and the other people's posts, but I would suggest asking your doc about the question here and anything else you feel you like to discuss about, that is my opinion

Yes, any type of seizure has the potential to progress into status epilepticus if it lasts more than 5 minutes or occurs repeatedly without the person fully recovering between seizures.

I'm pretty sure a seizure would have to be generalized in other words a Tonic clonic seizure then it becomes prolonged that's when the danger of it going into status epilepticus comes in.
