Thank you all so much for your kind words. They really mean a lot. They took blood and I guess they'll know more in the morning. He's fine so far, just has a fever but is otherwise in a good mood. Well, now he's asleep.
I smuggled a beer in and I'm wondering how to drink it without looking like an asshole.
DZ, hugs to you and to Butterbaby! I had 2 seizures during puberty that they never came up with an explanation for. I hope his disappear never to return. Poor kiddo and poor you!
I would certainly understand wanting a beer after that phone call.
I had them frequently as a baby/young child. I just always fevered high and my mom would have to throw me in the bath often in order to prevent them. She said the dr said to keep me in there for 40 minutes.
He's fine, just sick. They're treating his damn cold symptoms, which is not why we're fucking here. I am demanding we be released today if his bloodwork is normal.

Definitely. I hope they release you guys! Were they just keeping him as extra precaution or doing EEG's or anything? Even when C had 3 seizures in less than six hours they would only keep him about 24-36 hours. Of course different countries do things differently but hospitals suck. I felt like it took ME days to recuperate just from being there and I wasn't even the sick one. Pulling for you guys to get out STAT. Big hugs!
Oh gosh, poor Butters (and you!!)! I'm glad to hear he's doing better today. My cousin's daughter and 2 friends' kids have all experienced febrile seizures. I can't imagine how scary that is in the moment. Luckily, none of these kiddos have had lasting effects. Hopefully it's a one time thing and won't happen again for you too. Fingers crossed you can be home for Thanksgiving and that your little guy continues to get better!

They did absolutely nothing neurological with him. The doctor told us what to do next time it happens, gave us prescriptions for ibuprofen and antibiotics (which he barfed back up) and sent us on our way yesterday afternoon.
Thanks again for the support, ladies. I love you bitches.
