Boy was I in for a surprise today. I learned how to spell the word seizure, what it feels like to ride in the back of an ambulance, and that I still hate hospitals.
Kylee had an unexpected seizure this afternoon due to a rapid increase in her fever. I have never experienced a seizure before so I tried to reach her doctor and when I couldn't get through, I dialed 911. My poor neighbor (she's a cop and her roommate works at a children's hospital) upstairs had to answer the door to me, a frenzied mess. Thankfully she was able to help me while I talked to the 911 operator and tried to cool Kylee down. (Thank you neighbor, sorry that you moved next to a crazy mother.)
We were rushed to the hospital where they took her vitals and administered some medicine. After that, her fever quickly decreased. She is doing great now and even has a new souvenir from the hospital: her hospital gown. (It's pretty cute that they make them that small).
Oh my goodness! I can't imagine how frightened you must have been. I'm glad to hear that Kylee's fever went down quickly once you arrived in the ER and that she's feeling better now.
