A bad scare....
Yesterday, Gracie stopped breathing on us. For about 5 minutes she had some very labored breathing (like an obstruction was in her throat). We felt on her, and found that she was stiff as a board.
We called 911 and while they were en route, she stopped breathing altogether for a very brief time, and her eyes rolled to the back of her head. When the medics arrived, she had come around. (Aimee had breathed for her 3 breaths or so..) Afterward, she was very lethargic and confused looking.
Upon arriving at the ER, it was found that she had a temp of 101.3F. With a full lab workup and an overnight stay, the attending pediatrician diagnosed her with having a Febrile Seizure.
Praise God that they are not harmful, and no adverse neurological deficits are likely to occur with these types of seizures. Nor will she be placed on any anti-convulsants for now.
