Not Your Typical Middle-of-the-Week Slump

Normal? Average? Boring? I don't think so.

Tuesday afternoon doesn't seem interesting enough?
We can fix that.

My children don't do anything the normal way. So, Tuesday, Brooklyn started to act very strange. Took an extra nap, refused to take a bottle, and spit out her breakfast. Then, during lunch, she had a seizure. I took her to the pediatrician, who called her neurologist, who admitted her to the hospital.

Apparently, life at home wasn't interesting enough. She had another seizure that night in the hospital.










To make a long story short, she spent two days in the hospital having tests run, and everything came back negative. So, she doesn't have epilepsy, or a brain lesion, or a blood clot, or anything like that. Whew! We are so thankful! She may have another seizure, or she may not. Its a waiting game. And more doctor appointments. But the important thing is that she is okay, aside from being a little ticked off that she had to have an IV in her foot for two days, that is. We are resting, recovering, and counting our blessings!

Wonderful news. I bet Little Miss Cute Stuff was center of attention with the staff on the pediatric floor. :)
