A Good AND Bad Weekend

Where do I even begin with this post!?
Jason's mom came out for a visit we've been waiting for for a long time now!  We were all so excited for it, especially Makayla.  She was actually bouncing off the walls at times.  Everything started off so great.  Then it took a slight turn for the worst. 

Here is little B getting ready to eat her lunch.  She seemed completely normal all day. 

Then came one of the scariest moments of my life.

Little B had a seizure.  Her second one.  This one was a bit different and lasted longer.  The entire drive to Instacare, and then in the ambulance ride to the hospital, where she got the rescue meds to stop it. 

So they are thinking it was another febrile seizure, related to a fever that spikes really suddenly and gets really high.  That's what happened the first time, when she had RSV.  But this time, she wasn't sick at all.  And there were a few other things going on afterward that were strange so they did bloodwork and a CT and chest x-rays.  Long story short, we were there about 5 hours.
It was torture watching them try and poke her for the IV, having to restrain her for various tests and things.  And mostly to watch her in that uncontrollable, horrible condition.
We got a referral to go down to Primary Childrens to get her seen by a specialist to see if there is anything else going on, or if it was simply just another febrile seizure.
With my brothers seizure disorder and Jason having had a few, they just want to be thorough.
But after she got home and got some rest, she slowly got back to her normal happy beautiful self.  

Then it was time to get down to business!!  We got a ton of helpful stuff done on the house with Steve's contracting smarts, and Diane's awesome eye for things.

And the weekend ended on a good note!  We had a great time with everyone!  Can't wait for our next trip out to Illinois...hopefully sooner rather than later!
And hopefully next time is a little less eventful...
