12/8 - I was scheduling an appointment for Eva to see the Dr due to a slight fever the night before. The pattern is so common - slight fever, runny nose for 3 days turning into a bad cough leading to the nebulizer and some other type of amoxicillian - all this lasts about eight days. After convincing the dr for a script, the computers were down at the pharmacy and we did not go p/u until after 4pm. In the drive-thru line, Eva was having a full blown seizure. This one was different than the previous ones. Her lips and eye lids turned blue, she was shaking her arms, hands, and legs and bubbling at the mouth. This all lasted through the nurse practioner coming outside and finally the ambulance medics. She was rushed to the hospital - still seizuring. After I arrived about 15 minutes later, the medic stated that she had just finished her seizure and they were trying to control her 105 temperature. While there, they took a chest x-ray (side and front), at least five different blood samples, and I denied a uhrine sample. I felt it just wasn't worth that pain again. After seeing the ER dr, he stated that this was yet another febrial seizure and to send us on our way after her fever was under control - four hours later.
