The Worst Feeling

I think I actually felt the worst feeling of my life this week. We had quite the scare with little Brynn. She had a fever for a day or so and we were out of Tylenol so I headed to Walgreens to stock up. I was browsing the isle and when I turned around Brynn was convulsing like crazy. Her head was thrown back along with her arms. I picked her up and tried to get her attention with no luck. I had no idea what was happening, but I was in a total panic. I ran to the clerk with Brynn still going crazy. Suddenly she stopped shaking or even moving and her eyes rolled to one side she was totally limp and turning blue. The clerk called 911 and an ambulance was on it's way. I was totally blank and couldn't remember a thing about CPR. She finally came too and was totally drowsy. Anyway the Dr at the ER said she had a febrile seizure. Apparently there is absolutely no harm to the child and they usually grow out of it. Chances are that she will have one again in the future when she has another high fever. So in short I was totally freaked out for nothing. I am glad there are Two Walgreens in The Woodlands since I can never go back to "that one" and I hope that someone else is around in case of a "real" emergency since I totally froze. In my defense I trully thought Brynn was dying and that was the WORST feeling in the world. I felt totally helpless. I just wanted to hold on to my kids all night.
Anyways that is the big story for the week. We are still fighting off viruses. Aden is the lucky carrier right now. I hate it. We are home bound for weeks when a bug gets into our house. On a happy note. Ryan and I celebrated out 5 year anniversary this week. We went to the Cheesecake Factory for some yummy grub. He is still my sweetheart and I am still his. It is a good feelng. Hope everyone is happy and healthy.

Oh that is so scary! I am glad everything was okay. There is NOTHING worse in the world than to feel helpless while something is happening to your child.

I am happy that she recovered quickly and that no harm was done.

Take care my friend and congrats on 5 years!

Jesus, I can't even imagine. Call me sometime when you get a chance, I haven't been good at corresponding/keeping in touch with anyone, either, too busy with Kim and the kids! Anyway, give Aden and Brynn a BIG hug for me and tell Ryan WHAT'S UP!
