9 - Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day 2008, we had spent the night at my parent's home.  Shane climbs into bed early that morning and collapses on top of me.  His little body was burning hot. I sit up to remove his pajama's and he suddenly starts having convulsions, foaming at the mouth and eyes rolling in his head.  I run screaming from the room and lay him on my parents bed.  My Dad called 9-1-1.

We go to the hospital and found that he had a febrile seizure (thankfully not epileptic!!!).  Febrile seizures are brought on by high fever and are considered common in young children.  Got the fever down and returned home.

Happy Mother's Day to me!!!
