Today we experienced one of the most terrifying events (I think this topped Jack's birth!). We noticed Jack was a little warm this afternoon around 2:00. We took his temp and it was 99 so we gave him some Tylenol and he feel asleep for his nap. He woke up around 4 and was very happy. He felt really warm so we took his temp again and it was 103. Before I could call the Dr, Jack had a seizure in Nick's arms. I immediately called 911. In the meantime the seizure had stopped except for a twitch in Jack's mouth. He was alert and looking around. While I was talking to the 911 dispatcher Jack had another, very quick, seizure and then vomited. The paramedics arrived, took his vitals. At that time Jack was crying, VERY GOOD SIGN!!!! They took us to Joe DiMaggio hospital where Jack's temp was around 104. They gave him Motrin and he was looked at by a Dr. The Dr said he thought the seizure was just brought on by his fever and he may have a virus. We were sent home with instructions to give Jack tylenol and motrin throughout the night. On the ride home Jack was laughing and talking. We go to Jack's pediatrician on Monday. Nick and I are a little shookin up by this experience, we are wondering what will be next???

OMG Jennie! I had tears in my eyes when i read that not to mention my heart dropped with the first line. I am so sorry you all had to go through that. I really hope he is ok. Please call me tomorrow if you can to let me know how he is. I will be saying a big prayer for him tonight.
Oh Jennie! I am so sorry to hear that Mr. Jack Allen had such a rough time. Please know that if you need absolutely ANYTHING, that we are a hop, skip, and a jump away. Please do not hesitate to call. Sending you lots of love. And a big smelly foot smell to Jack.
Jennie, so sorry you and Nick had to go thru that!!!! Well no one could ever say that he is a boring child! I remember Nathan's febrile seizure like it was yesterday and it was only my brother not my own child!!! Hope your birthday trip is great!!! Gretchen :)
