I hear 2 blood curdling screems coming from my 14 month baby girl. My wife and I flew into her room where she was trembling. Her eyes rolled back into her head and she started haveing convulsions. My wife runs and calls 911 while i try to check her airway. I couldnt get my finger in her mouth as it was locked shut.
She was haveing a seizure. After about 1 minute she went limp I thought she was dying but her heart was beating and soon she opend her eyes and was groggy. the ambulance showed up and said that it was common. 2-5% of all babies up to 3 years old have a febrile seizure.
We went to the hospital and they got her fever down and sent her home.
I know alot of us here have babies and I think that knowing aboutfebrile seizures is worth a read.
I was going to post a link to that thread, but the SG search results for "bullsh|t" were too numerous

Hey Randy. It is scary to see for the first time. I used to have convulsions for the first few years of my life every time I had a fever. My mother reminds me of it to this day lol. Glad to see the baby is alright.
Watching an adult have either a petite or a grand mal can scare the crap out of you. I know that fear had to have been amplified at least 1000 times with the baby.
I'm glad to hear she's doing a little better. What's caused her temperature anyway? Did I miss that?
I'm glad your daughter is okay. Wow!The rollercoaster ride of parenthood.My youngest is 11 months.Thanks for the link.
The brave man is not he who feels no fear, For that were stupid and irrational; But he, whose noble soul its fears subdues, And bravely dares the danger nature shrinks from.

i dont think it will scare me as much.. just beeing aware of it makes it easier 2 - 5 % is alot. if there is a next time i will just drive her to hospital. 30 - 40% chance she may have another seizure before age 3.

OMG Randy!!! Thank god your little girl is ok. And to make you feel just a tab bit better....I was one of the 2 - 5% that had them also. My mom has mentioned to me a few times of the ones I've had when I was that age. And look how I turned out....doh
Dear God man just reading that freaks me out and brings back memories of when I thought I lost my oldest daughter who was 3 at the time...I have to touch my 2 girls and see them move and breath before I can go to bed or work ..They are my life .......100%...

Oh man...I would freak in a big way!!
I've raised two kids and thank god nothing like that has ever happened. My only bad times are/were tneir teenage years!
Glad to hear your baby girl is ok!!
The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, and prejudices to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own for the children and the children yet unborn and the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.
Glad to hear she is OK Randy. As a Firefighter/Paramedic I see seizures almost every day, febrile seizures usually aren't too much to worry about a lot of kids have them. As I'm sure they told you at the hospital just keep her from injuring herself and call 911. There really isn't much else you can do, I know it's a helpless feeling, but atleast you did the right thing and she is fine.

I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things; then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful. Amor fati: let that be my love henceforth! I do not want to wage war against what is ugly. I do not want to accuse; I do not even want to accuse those who accuse. Looking away shall be my only negation. And all in all and on the whole: some day I wish to be only a Yes-sayer.
Frightening, Randy. Hope it's a once only for your baby.
Thanks for the link.
My son has a sting allergy that has put us into a spin on several occasions and my granddaughter suffered with Sleep Apnea. Many sleepless nights until she was old enough to have surgery.
that's scary!! I have a 15 month and a 2 1/2 year old myself, I can imagine!!
Plus, I work nights, so I wouldnt even be there. Thank God everything turned out okay. Even more thankfully that it isnt a life-changing situation and she'll be okay!
