Well, Spider had a seizure yesterday. She’s fine, but she had had a temperature which then spiked and caused a seizure.
Engineer had one about 3 years ago, so I recognized it and wasn’t panicky. I think the 911 lady was confused when I called her because I was so calm. “Is she still having one right now?” she asked me. “Yeah. But the reason I am so calm is that my son had one a few years ago.”
“Oh so you know what to do then?”
“Uh, remind me…”
Anyway, it all turned out okay. Spider is behaving more normally than she did yesterday. Her seizure wasn’t as bad as Engineer’s was so it was not as scary and even though the paramedics came, we did not go to the emergency room.
Better today than yesterday.
I’m glad to hear she is ok. I definitely would be freaking out.

So scary! I’m glad she’s doing better. I’m laughing just picturing the 911 operator’s face when you calmly informed her that your child was currently seizing. Maybe I shouldn’t laugh… but I am.
