The Boni Bunch: Panic Mode

Panic Mode

You may or may not remember, about this time last year, Asher got sick. I took him to the doctor one morning, found out he had an ear infection, then about 2 hours after we got home, his temp spiked so quickly that he had a febrile seizure. That was THE scariest day of my life. 911 was called; I freaked out. Of course, since it didn't happen but the one time that day, the paramedics didn't do anything...not much TO do except keep a close eye on things....

Well...ever since then, when he starts getting lethargic or sickly, my adrenaline starts pumping, and I think I live in panic mode until he's better. Today, he was playing with the other kiddos, then he came to sit on my lap. He felt warm, so I took his temp: 99.1... no big deal, right?

Well, about 10 minutes later, I thought, "Geez, you really feel hot now," so I took the temp again: 100.8...

OK...so before it keeps increasing, I decided to give him some Tylenol.
Another 10 minutes later, he felt like he was on fire! Checked his temp again and it was 102.9!

OMG...

No, he didn't end up having another seizure (THANK GOD), but I have been in panic mode all day... in a matter of less than 30 minutes, he went from "all is well" to "omg, high fever"! I don't like how quickly this kid spikes fevers.

Well...within another 30 minutes, his fever dropped back down and he was "normal" again! It's all very strange to me... this all happened several hours ago, and he's still fine. Not sure what all that was about, but I DON'T LIKE IT!!

Mommy DOES NOT like when her baby is sick...let's work on that never happening again... K??

I understand being in panic mode...Any time Raya suddenly breaks out in a terror scream or starts crying like her leg is gonna start spazing (sp)out, my husband and I start fearing its the beginnings of a seizure. For some reason over the last two years at this same time of the year, the seizures begin. So far we haven't had any issues this year, so we are hoping she has out grown them. Unfortunately the fear doesnt seem to go away...ahh, the joys of parenthood!!
