I hate seizures!

I Hate Hate Hate seizures! My children inheirited this aweful things called feverial seizures from my husband. No one in my family have ever had a seizure. Not in my extended family either. Growing up had never even seen a person have one. So to my surprize, both of my children have them. Late Friday night my daughter woke up crying and very upset. Jesse went and got her and reliezed she was running a fever. Knowing that I just ran out of children's lyquid motrin, I tried having her take childrens chewable tylenol. She hated that and spit it out. Never knowing exactly when my kids will have a seizure, she dropped to the floor, hitting her head on the tile. I picked her up and just held her tight until it was over. Afterwards all can do is sobb, saying why do my children keep having these. Saturday morning, I was super tired from staying up half the night worried about Miss Holly, but I figured she would be ok and I went to work. I left her with my nephew. I started blogging at work about how much I hate seizures when I recieved the phone call saying, "Holly is having another seizure!" I panic drove home. Luckily our shop is right down the street. I got there to find her limp, because they take so much out you. I held her and cried once again. I decided to take her to the hospital, because she had more than one in 24 hours. Turns out she had an ear infection(Which my kids never get!). So that was causing the fevers. We came home Saturday night with medicine and once again our world is back to normal.

I remember seeing one of my friends at school having a seizure. It was really scary. I can only imagine what you have to deal with. Hopefully you won't have to deal with them too often.

Hi Shiloh,

When I was a baby I would get seizures. I out grew them. It would scare my mother. A fever would always induce the seizure, too. So sorry that both kiddo's have them.
