Scary Day Yesterday

Yesterday was not fun at all, we were supposed to go to phoenix today, well that changed. We ended up spending the day in the hospital instead yesterday. Elizabeth has been sick since Abby was born. Yesterday she was laying on the couch watching TV and I looked at her and she looked like she was laying there being silly. So I called her name, zero response. I got up and went over to her. Her eyes were fixed in one spot, her arms were pulled up by her face, I picked her up and she was completely rigid. At this point Andy ran over to the phone and called 911. We had no idea what was happening to her! While Andy was talking to 911, I went to the kitchen and tried to sit her on the counter, I couldn't get her to let go of me, its like she developed super human strength. Finally I got her to let go & finally she started moving eyes and became less rigid but she still couldn't sit up. She started gagging like she was going to throw up too. And she tried to talk but it was only gibberish coming out. Finally we could hear the sirens coming and by the time I sat Elizabeth on the couch they were at our house. Like 5 paramedics came in w/ all their equipment including the stretcher. They started checking her vitals, her o2 level was 90, her temp was 103 degrees. So they put her on oxygen immediately. One of the paramedics told us that he was pretty sure that she had a fibril seizure, a seizure caused by a spike in temp. By this point Elizabeth was shaking and starting to come around. During all of this Abby was screaming cause she was hungry, which just added to the crazyness. The paramedics asked us if we wanted them to take her to the hospital or if we wanted to take her to our pediatrician. We said we'd take her. Well after the paramedics left, our neighbors are coming over trying to find out what happened, while we're trying to get out the door. Well we took her to our pediatrican and they wouldn't look at her. So we drove up to McKaydee and took her to the Er. We sat there for 4 hours, while they gave her meds to bring her temp down, checked her to influenza, rsv, did a chest x-ray. Luckily our dr was nice enough to give us a bottle for Abby (since we ran out w/only a little bottle) and Elizabeth & Abby slept most of the time luckily. Elizabeth tested positive for the flu, which was the reason why her temp spiked like that. And we got antibiotics for her ear infection. We just have to keep Tylenol/Motrin in her all the time to keep it from doing that again.
