Scary Saturday

Ok, so today was one of the craziest days I've ever had and one of the scariest. It started off as any other Saturday. I got to sleep in a little bit before my kids woke me up wanting breakfast and cartoons. After taking care of their needs, I went to the gym to do my daily morning workout. I returned home, no problem, everything was fine...in fact the kids were dressed and playing nicely together, bonus! I thought while I was sweaty and stinky I would clean the bathrooms, so I began with the bathroom in our kitchen. Bella was playing silly with daddy, Dylan was upstairs and Audrey was taking a nap. Bella came to see me while I was cleaning and starting cleaning the toilet. She was being her silly self and making more of a mess than helping me, so I told her to go play. Next thing I know I hear thumping coming from nearby. I walked out of the bathroom looking for Bella and walked into the laundry room saying, "Bella, what are you doing?" To my complete shock she was laying flat on her back, it took me a sec to realize she was not responding to me and her eyes were rolled to the top of her head, her body was shaking. I quickly ran and grabbed her, yelled "Mike!" and began panicking, crying and panicking. I told Mike to call 911 as I realized her lips were turning purple and she wasn't breathing normally. He grabbed the phone and told me to calm down because she WAS breathing. After talking to me, Mike knew it was a seizure. She was totally out of it for several minutes, her breathing slowly normalized and then she slept for a while. The ambulance arrived quickly, they checked her out and everything looked fine. Bella was pale and very tired. We rode in the ambulance to the hospital so that they could monitor her and perform tests. Bella was so brave and I was so relieved that she was starting to act like her self again. They did a CAT scan and blood work at the hospital and everything was normal. So at this point, the Dr. doesn't know what caused the seizure and we will be going to see the dr again on Monday to perform MRI scans to see if she has epilepsy or anything that couldnt be seen on the CAT scan. We feel very blessed that everything looks normal. She has been happy and playing, you'd never know she had the day she had! She is so sweet and tough! Thank you family, for all your prayers and concern! We will keep you posted. What a day it has been! Here is a picture of Bella with her new CareBear that she got from the EMT in the ambulance, it made her smile! and me too!
