never been so freekin scared in my life!

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.

OMG, that would've scared the living hell out of anyone!

VERY glad to hear she's OK. Don't forget to breathe now.

sorry to hear that. hope evey thing stays good and fine

Randy...Thank the powers that be that all is ok.....Thanks for the site, not only parents but grandparents should be aware of this.....Thank you for sharing..... I mean this sincerly....

chevy....

Wow Randy reading that..... Glad she is ok, if that happened to my daughter i would be so scared.

Back when I was in 7th grade, this one kid in my gym class had a seisure. It was nuts, he was just laying there shaking and stuff. Crazy.

DAMN!!! Reading that made my hair stand on end. Im glad everything turned out good for you all.

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?

Dude, that's incredibly scary. Very happy your daughter is going to be OK. Thanks for the link too, I'd never known about febrile seizures.

I'm glad your daughter is okay. Wow!The rollercoaster ride of parenthood.My youngest is 11 months.Thanks for the link.

Geez rodent, I bet that did scare the whizz outta ya. Well now ya know, and next time(I sincerely hope this is the only happenstance) ya won't feel so powerless and terrified.

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

J/K ing of course

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!!

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.

Thank God she is ok. That would have to be the worst thing in the world that could happen to someone. Glad she is ok.

I'm so glad your little girl is fine. Considering the circumstances you and your better half seemed to have handled the situation pretty well.

Take care and I hope it does not happen again.

Holy ****balls Randy......sure glad everything is ok.

Damn, some crazy ****!

Very happy to hear your lil' girl is alright. As everyone else has said, that must be so scary!

Good call on spreading the word about febrile seizures.

And "THREADWORMS" lol! Take Care.

A very close friend of mine had the exact same thing happen to her son. Just the one time and nothing since then. He's now a very happy 3 year old.

Hi Randy


Scary moments in a Parents life those.

You feel so utterly helpless. You did well in getting 911 ASAP

Pleased that all has worked out well. Lets hope neither You nor Your Child every has to go through that again.

Say a Prayer tonight, someone is watching over You.

Man that is scary I have seen adults have seizures before but never a baby,

i am just glad everything is ok

The very thing of nightmares and day frights. Thank G-d she is ok.

shant,

That's frightening, Randy. Thanks for posting the link.

We had a couple of terrifying incidents just out of the blue:

My daughter went into shock from a bee-sting allergy and my granddaughter went into diabetic coma.

Everyone needs to keep an eye on the little ones because some things require prompt attention.

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.

Take care.

Croc.

holy sheet!

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!

Oh My God !! That is frightening to even entertain the thought!!

I am so glad that your girl is OK. I will definatly give that article a read.. thanks for the link Randy!

It sounds like you handled the situation well... I hope all is well in the future man...
