Worst Week Ever?

Remember how I said it had been a bad week? Today we took the Bug to the ER for a possible seizure. The CT scan showed all normal, healthy brain. We're to call for follow up appointments tomorrow. Anyway.

CRAPPY WEEK.

Edited to add what happened: He fell a very short distance and bumped his cheek. He got up crying and did that thing he does where he screams til he holds his breath and then passes out. He has done this before and while it's freaky, it's not scary. This time though, we he would normally come out of the faint he had what appeared to be a seizure. It lasted long enough for me to send the neighbor's kid over to get his dad (Mike was not home) and for the dad to come over and us to call 911. At least 2 minutes, perhaps a bit more. So we went to the ER.

  8. Oh geez! You really have been through the ringer. Is Bug running a fever like the Pirate? Not that any seizure is a good one but a febrile seizure is at least marginally less scary than other kinds to me. I hope everyone feels better soon and no more scary episodes of any kind allowed!!!!

  17. Poor kiddo; poor you! I wondered if it was febrile too. My son does that thing where he holds his breath, and we call it the "silent cry." Like, you know he's really really mad if you get the silent cry - mouth open and no sound. It must be scary when he passes out from it though. I hope the seizure is a freak one-time thing with no damage. You're the 4th blogger I know with kids with seizures this week.
