So last night we had two seizures. This morning I checked her temperature and it was again at over 103. I gave her the double dose at 7:15. She was in this staring daze - almost like hypmotized (sp) for a while but kept tensing her fists and kicking a leg up every now and then. Called the family dr and they weren't quite sure what I wanted - and really neither did I. I just wanted her back to her normal. Anyway, after another call, I was directed to just go to the ER. We did just that at 8:05. She was still tense. I want to say now that it was a "stiff seizure" and it lasted for quite some time - at least until I got to the ER. The nurses seemed a bit concerned with the blue lips and constant bubbling at the mouth. Her fever - 95.7. They placed warming blankets over her and was in and out of sleep - even through the five nurses getting blood samples, putting iv in her, taking rectal temperatures, blood pressure checks, you name it - she slept. She was just exhausted. She finally did wake up around 12p. Normal lunch time for us. She was hungry and thirsty. We gave her some apple juice and I had some cheerios and chex cereal. After about 45 minutes - she decided to vomit all over me. Fun. They also bagged her to get a uhrine sample - they never work. I know this first hand because she peed on me too. I just stink. So all in all, they ended up diagnosing her with viral bronchiolitis. There is no medication for this -just viral. That horrible word - viral. Where you can't do a damb thing but just weigh it out. They said I can give her tylenol and motrim alternating if she continues to have a fever. Frusterating. So I have to follow up with my neurologist tomorrow and with my family dr on friday. I continue to ask myself the question over and over to myself - will this ever end? I guess the four letter word will let us know - time.
