Most of you know Maddie was sick earlier in the week and that Avery was sick yesterday. We were up about every hour with her: fever, vomiting, etc.
We spent most of the earlier morning hours in the ER after getting there by ambulance. Avery's fever spiked in an extremely short amount of time and she had a febrile seizure. I immediately called 911 not knowing what exactly could be causing all of her symptoms.
This, by far, has been the scariest thing we've experienced with her or Madison. There should not be any long term effects of this seizure and was probably caused by the fever which is more than likely caused by a virul infection.
She should be fine. She's on an antibiotic now, but the dr. said it could very possibly be a viral infection. Her blood count checked out fine, her x-rays were okay, urine didn't show anything, so they're still testing her blood, just in case. Our main goal is to tackle the fever before it has a chance to spike again.
If any of you are parents and have had this happend before or have knowledge of this occurance, please message me. Now that she's finally asleep, I can think a little more clearly and wanted to talk to someone who had experienced this first hand.
All comments welcome!!!
