I had planned to wake kids up on April Fools Day and tell them it was snowing and there was no school. Instead, A woke us up a little after 3am because Lydia was having a seizure. I wish it was a joke.
I hated seeing my little baby’s body convulse like that – and the choking, rattling noise is something I’ll probably never forget- but being that this is my third experience, I was calm.
Until she had another one. I yelled at M to call 911. In the lifetime 10 minutes it took them to get to our house she had a series of 3 more smaller ones. Long story short we were transported to a children’s ER in Greenville, CT scan was clear, she was released, we’ve followed up with her primary doc, diagnosed as another Febrile seizure. Because her last one was 5 months ago, if she happens to have another seizure this year she’ll be seen by a neurologist just to make sure everything is Ok. Statistics tell us now that she’s had two there’s a good chance she’ll have more. Most kids “outgrow” febrile seizures by age 5.
